Preventing Intersection Collisions – Turning
Intersections are one of the most dangerous locations on the roadway. Research has shown that a large number of crashes every year occur in an intersection or are intersection-related. This course identifies intersection hazards and strategies to prevent crashes in intersections.

Key Questions
What are the most common types of intersections?
The most common types of intersections include: Four-way intersections, T-intersections, Y-intersections, and Roundabouts.
Who has the right-of-way in a roundabout?
Vehicles already in the roundabout have the right-of-way.
Who has the right-of-way if you are at a stop light or stop sign at a T-intersection?
If you are at the stop light or stop sign at a T-intersection, the vehicles on the main road have the right-of-way.
Sample Video Transcript
This second strategy also applies to roundabouts or traffic circles. Roundabouts allow vehicles to travel through an intersection in a counter-clockwise circle. Vehicles already in the roundabout have the right-of-way. Wait to enter the roundabout until there is a large enough gap in traffic. Unless the traffic in front of you stops, you should never stop while navigating the roundabout.
