Who has the right of way at an intersection?

Pedestrians
The vehicle that entered first
The vehicle going straight
The vehicle making the turn

The correct answer is: Pedestrians

At an intersection, pedestrians always have the right of way. This means that vehicles must yield to pedestrians who are crossing the street or sidewalk. Option B, the vehicle that entered first, is incorrect because the order in which vehicles arrive at the intersection does not determine who has the right of way. Option C, the vehicle going straight, and option D, the vehicle making the turn, are also incorrect because vehicles must still yield to pedestrians regardless of their direction of travel. This is important for drivers to remember in order to keep pedestrians safe and prevent accidents at intersections.
