On a road with three or more lanes, a vehicle entering a lane from the right:
- Always has the right-of-way.
- Must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle entering the same lane from the left. ✓
- Should be allowed the right-of-way by a vehicle entering the same lane from the left.
- Does not need to use its blinker.
Answer: B. Must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle entering the same lane from the left.
The vehicle entering the lane from the right must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle entering the same lane from the left.
Why this is the answer
The handbook states that when a road has three or more lanes going the same direction, a vehicle entering a lane from the right must give way to a vehicle entering that same lane from the left. That settles the priority between the two vehicles: the one coming in from the right waits. The answer matches that rule, so the vehicle entering from the right does not take the right-of-way; it yields.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Always has the right-of-way. — The handbook gives the right-of-way to the vehicle entering from the left, so the vehicle entering from the right cannot always claim it.
- C. Should be allowed the right-of-way by a vehicle entering the same lane from the left. — The handbook says the vehicle entering from the right must yield, not that the vehicle entering from the left should allow it to go first.
- D. Does not need to use its blinker. — Turn signals are not the issue here; the handbook's rule assigns the right-of-way to the vehicle entering from the left.
Remember it
Remember it as right yields left when both are entering the same lane.
