Hump Days PSA: A quick reminder on how a 4-way stop works in NC. Youll find these things at intersections with, wait for it, 4 stop signs and when traffic signals are NOT FUNCTIONING !! As drivers approach the intersection, they are advised to follow these right of way rules: • The first vehicle to the intersection has the right of way ahead of any vehicle that has not yet arrived; • When two or more vehicles reach an intersection at the same time, the vehicle to the right has the right of way; • When two facing vehicles approach an intersection at the same time, both drivers can move straight ahead. If one driver is going straight while the other wants to turn, the driver who wants to turn must yield. The driver who is traveling straight ahead has the right of way; and • Even with the right of way, remember to use the appropriate turn signals and be careful to avoid hitting other vehicles and/or pedestrians.
