What does Colorado right-of-way law actually do?
- It states who must yield the right-of-way; it does not give anyone the right-of-way, even on a green light — Correct answer
- It guarantees the right-of-way to any driver who has a green signal
- It gives the right-of-way to the larger vehicle in every situation
- It applies only at intersections controlled by traffic signals
Explanation: The law states who must YIELD the right-of-way — it does not give anyone the right-of-way, even if your traffic signal is green; you must yield to pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers already in an intersection you are approaching.
