The main road sign is located only at the beginning of the street. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine which of the carriageways is of primary importance. To deal with this point, you need to carefully study the rules of the road.
Instructions
Step 1
Examine the right corner of the intersection when you approach it. If there is no sign there, look at the left corner, which is closer to you, and then at the one that is further away. To identify a Yield sign that is turned upside down or covered in snow, notice how the triangle is positioned. If the shape is placed in such a way that the top is at the bottom, then this is the sign that you need. Next, you should navigate which road the sign refers to. This will determine if you need to give way.
Step 2
Look for a sign "Non-stop driving is prohibited." This octahedron also indicates the primacy of the road. If you cannot see the signs in advance, drive up to the intersection itself and once again inspect all the corners. Keep in mind that then you will need to make a decision very quickly, and reaction speed is important for this.
Step 3
Remember that if you cannot identify the main road from the signs, the rule "Hindrance to the right" applies. This means that you must pass the vehicle on your right hand. Moving along the primary road, you can freely turn right or go straight. Please note that when turning left or making a U-turn, you must give way to oncoming traffic.
Step 4
Pay attention to the road surface. If this is an unpaved roadway that is crossed by an asphalt one, then in the absence of signs, the road should be considered secondary. Also, remember that the location of the road also matters in determining headship. For example, if this is an exit from the yard or from the village, the road is secondary.
Step 5
Consider that you are on a secondary road if there are no signs nearby and you cannot determine the type of surface. This will help you avoid accidents.
