- Two way, four way, all way, stop sign intersections.
What that flipping heck is the difference? (chuckles)
Today we're going to give you information
to both pass your driver's test
and be a safer smarter driver.
Stick around, we'll be right back with that information.
(upbeat music)
So the first one we're going to start off with
is a three way stop, which simply means
that it's a T intersection
and every point of entry to the intersection at the T
has to come to a stop
before proceeding through the intersection.
The same rules apply as a four way stop sign intersection
the rules in a three-way anything above a two way,
three way, four way, all way,
they're all going to be the same rules.
Pedestrians, first person to arrive, person on the right
straight through traffic, overturning traffic
and right turning traffic over left turning traffic.
Two-way intersections are different than four way
or all way intersections.
Three way intersections, this is where we just came through.
So we're going to pass the school.
In school zone signs,
we slowed down to 30 kilometers an hour 20 miles an hour,
whatever the posted speed limit is.
There's no bicycle lane here.
So because there's a stop sign,
two-way stop sign intersection,
I positioned my vehicle to the right.
There's a crosswalk here.
I'm not going to pull into the crosswalk
for the purposes of the driver's test.
There's a vehicle coming.
The vehicle is going slow because they're in a school zone
but I'm going to wait for them
for the purposes of being safe
and both preparing for my driver's test.
Now I can see clearly, shoulder check and I proceed
and get up to speed as quickly as possible
which is 30 kilometers an hour
which is exactly what I'm doing right now.
Now in some places they're not going to have
any schools zone signs for the speed zone right here
but you can see the Pentangle sign there
which the school sign.
And I know it's the end of the school zone.
So that's when I can resume speed to 50 kilometers an hour
which is the speed limit inside the city here
in the province of British Columbia.
As well I'll put a link to frequently asked questions
and you'll be able to figure out what the speed limit is
inside the city or out on the highway
where you live in the state or province.
Two-way intersections, major road over minor road
that's why you're at a two way stop sign
and not a four way stop sign.
And then the other rules applied.
Straight through traffic, overturning traffic
and right turning traffic over left turning traffic.
And a lot of people are confused by that
and think that the left turning traffic
is going to go first if they arrive first,
that is not true for two way stop sign intersections
all the way four way stop sign intersection
stopping at the correct stopping position.
No pedestrians, no other traffic.
After a complete stop, we proceed through the intersection
and have a look up in the corner there,
I'll put a video up for you on the complete stop
and making sure that your vehicle is stopped completely
at a stop sign intersection.
For the purposes of your driver's test,
two hands on the steering wheel,
looking far down the road, checking the intersection.
We're coming up to a four-way stop sign intersection.
You can see that this one is in fact new.
They're already cars at the intersection.
I come to a complete stop behind the stop line,
this vehicle proceeds
and then that vehicle is turning
and I'm proceeding straight.
Checking to make sure everyone else
is staying where they're supposed to be staying
at the four way stop sign intersection
as I proceed through the intersection.
And I'll put a card up in the corner for you as well
on the complete video on four way stop sign intersections
so you know how to handle those correctly.
You're most likely to find two way stop signed intersections
in residential areas.
There's going to be a major thoroughfare
through the residential area.
And then all the minor roads are going to have stop signs
at them when they meet at the major road,
the major thoroughfare.
So for example, here, this road right and the left
is the major thoroughfare and I'm on a minor road
so therefore I'm facing a control,
the other vehicles are proceeding.
And if you can't see, stop at the correct stopping position
usually behind the stop line, before the sidewalk
or at the edge where the two roads meet.
And if you can't see, then you creep out
and treat it as a yield until you can see
when the way is clear venue proceed.
Two way intersection, we're going to turn left.
We're stopped in the queue.
For the purposes of your drivers test
and to keep yourself safe,
stop back so you can see the tires
of the vehicle in front of you making clear contact
with the pavement.
I come up here, stop line, you can barely see it
'cause it's winter time.
I've stopped before the crosswalk or sidewalk
and the way is clear and I can proceed.
Lots of head movement, lots of scanning.
And I have a vehicle behind me
as you can see that it's tailgating me
because I'm doing the speed limit
and that's going to happen to you
while you're on your driver's test.
Because for the purposes of your driver's test
you have to drive the posted speed limit.
And when you drive the posted speed limit
and you're on a two lane road
oftentimes other vehicles are going to tailgate you.
So the other vehicle arrived first,
that's why they went on the left-hand turn
and they were considerably in front of me.
So they went first and then I got the vehicle stopped
and then I proceeded with my right hand turn
after I came to a complete stop behind the stop line.
And the other thing is
because that vehicle behind me was tailgating me,
when I came up there, I was looking in the center mirror
to make sure that that vehicle behind me
was coming to a stop because I knew previously
as they said that they were tailgating me
and because they were tailgating me,
I wanted to make sure that in fact,
they were not going to park in my trunk
when I came to a stop at the intersection there.
All intersections that are three way stops, four way stops
or all way stops all have the same rules that apply
as they do for a four way stop.
