Four Way Stops

I am constantly amazed that people have no idea on how to drive through a four way stop. When the traffic lights malfunction, there are times when the lights will flash red in all four directions.

Tulsa drivers will arrive at the intersection, where the lights are flashing red. When they arrive, they seem to forget all known information about red four way stops.

So here is a little help Tulsa. When the lights are flashing red in all four directions, it is really simple to get through the intersection. JUST LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT.

The vehicles on your right have the right away. So those vehicles have the right to move through the intersection. No matter if they are going straight, turning right or left, they have the right away. After those vehicles move through the intersection, then the vehicles on their right move through the intersection. It is not difficult, but you must remember to allow them to move. As they move, your turn will come and you can move through the intersection.

As you look at the diagram, you can see that there are three vehicles at the stop sign. Vehicle A should yield to vehicle B, vehicle B should yield to vehicle C. So vehicle C moves, then A moves and then B moves. Then you continue in a counter clockwise until all the vehicles have gone through the intersection.

You must remember that you must have some patience when driving. If you are, we all will get through them........I hope!
