Right of Way - Florida Permit Test

Learn the rules of right of way.

See all Pass the Permit Test Topics


Right of Way rules can be confusing such as who goes first at a 4-way stop and how to drive in a roundabout.

Typically there are questions on the Permit Test on Right of Way.

Review the guides below about right of way, intersections and roundabouts and watch the videos. Then we recommend you take the Practice Test on Right of Way to determine if you understand the topic.

Take Right of Way Test


Intersections and Right of Way

Intersections are where many accidents happen. Understand the rules of right of way to be a safe driver such as which vehicle goes first at a 4-way stop.


Right of Way - Roundabouts

Roundabouts are circular intersections with no traffic signal. Driving in a roundabout can be tricky so you need to understand the rules in a roundabout such as yielding the right of way to drivers already in a roundabout.


Intersections and Right of Way

Guide on Right of Way and Intersections

At a Red Light or Stop Sign you must come to a complete stop behind the stop line.

At an intersection you must only drive forward if the road is clear.

Who Goes First

The first to stop has the right of way (that vehicle goes first). This is common at 4-way stops.

If two vehicles come to the intersection at the same time then the vehicle on the right goes first. Again - this is common at 4-way stops.

Right of Way and Pedestrians

You must yield the right of way to pedestrians in all situations.

Emergency Vehicles

Always yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. When an emergency vehicle is approaching pull over to the closest edge of the roadway immediately and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. Do not block intersections.

Driving Across Sidewalks

Before you cross a sidewalk stop and look in both directions for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles.

Open Intersections

An open intersection has no traffic signals or signs.

At an open intersection you must yield right of way if:

  • A vehicle is already in the intersection.
  • You enter or cross a state highway from a secondary road.
  • You enter a paved road from an unpaved road.
  • You want to make a left turn and another vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction.

Roundabouts and Right of Way

Roundabouts are circular intersections with no traffic signal. Many drivers are confused about how to enter a roundabout, when to stop, and how to exit a roundabout.

Here are Rules for Roundabouts

  • Roundabouts travel in a counter clockwise direction.
  • Drivers entering a roundabout must yield to traffic already in the roundabout.
  • If there are no vehicles in the roundabout you may enter without yielding.
  • Do not change lanes in a roundabout.
  • Use your turn signal to indicate you are exiting a roundabout.

Note: If there are no vehicles in a roundabout you enter it without stopping unless there's a stop sign.

Who has right

When reaching a roundabout you should: Always give priority to the traffic coming from the right, unless you have been directed otherwise by signs, road markings or traffic lights.

Who goes first in a roundabout of Florida?

Drivers entering the roundabout must yield to traffic already in the circle and are directed in one-way, counterclockwise direction. For multi-lane roundabouts, stay in the left lane to turn left and the right lane to turn right, and all lanes to go through, unless otherwise directed by signs or pavement markings.

When approaching a roundabout a driver must yield to traffic coming from the?

At an intersection where there is no stop sign or traffic signal (with the exception of roundabouts), drivers must yield to vehicles coming from the right. When approaching a roundabout intersection, always yield to traffic in the circle and pedestrians in the crosswalks. Wait for a gap in traffic before entering.

Which vehicle has the right way?

At “T” intersections without “STOP” or “YIELD” signs, yield to traffic and pedestrians on the through road. They have the right-of-way. When you turn left, give the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching that are close enough to be dangerous. Also, look for motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
