It's still going to be another week till replacement of the ripped down Traffic Light will be occur. In the mean time one of the busiest intersections in Humboldt is a four way stop. As a reminder to those less experienced drivers or if you have been driving for 20 years the rules of the road can be a bit hazy. So for the safety of all drivers in the Land of Sure Crop top Four way stop reminders.

  • At three- and four-way stops, courtesy dictates that the first vehicle that stops should be given the right of way.

  • At an intersection where there are no stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights or police directing traffic, and two vehicles arrive at the intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left must yield the right of way to the driver of the vehicle on the right.

  • When turning left, you must yield the right of way to any vehicles coming toward you if they are close enough that your turn would interfere with them.

  • All drivers have a moral and legal responsibility to avoid collisions. If you have the right of way at an intersection and a driver refuses to yield to you, you are responsible from a safety standpoint to avoid a collision, rather than insist upon your right of way.
