How to go through a Three-way Intersection?

1. If You’re on the Main (Through) Road

• Keep driving straight or follow the curve of the road.
• Yield to any cars entering from the side road (if there are yield or stop signs posted for them).
• Watch for pedestrians crossing at the junction.

2. If You’re on the Side Road (the “T” part)

• You’ll usually face a STOP or YIELD sign.
• Come to a full stop if required, then:
  • Turning right: Signal right, check for traffic coming from the left, and turn when clear.
  • Turning left: Signal left, yield to oncoming cars from both directions, then complete the turn safely.

3. If It’s an Uncontrolled Intersection (no signs)

• Vehicles on the through road have the right of way.
• Vehicles on the ending road must yield.
• Always yield to pedestrians and cyclists.

4. Extra Tips

• Use your turn signals well in advance.
• Slow down as you approach in case traffic rules require you to stop or yield.
• Stay in your correct lane when turning.
• Never cut corners—turn into the closest available lane.
