In the approach phase to an intersection, what factor must the driver observe first?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the traffic. According to the phases of crossing an intersection (approach, entry position, and crossing), safety is the priority. Before adapting speed or position, the driver must observe the traffic (checking the rear-view mirror) to ensure that slowing down or maneuvering will not create a hazard. Once the traffic is verified, signage is observed to determine the right of way, followed by the visibility and geometry of the intersection.
