You drive on a two-lane road and stop where it meets a four-lane road. No sign or signal controls the intersection, and nothing comes from your right. The only car on the four-lane road is far to your left, and you can cross all four lanes well before it comes near. What should you do now?
Blue A has stopped on the two-lane road before a four-lane crossroad. Silver B is far to the left on the crossroad; the right side is empty, and no sign or signal controls the junction.
Correct answer: Cross now with care, because that car is too far away to be a hazard.
Why
Texas gives traffic on a divided road, or on a road with three or more lanes, the right-of-way over traffic from a one- or two-lane road, from the left and from the right. To yield does not mean to wait for an empty road: you give way to vehicles that are near, and then you go when the crossing is safe. Four lanes take longer to cross than two, and traffic on a wide road often moves fast, so judge the gap with care.
