Michigan State Driving Skills Practice Test

When approaching a "T" intersection where all roads have stop signs, yielding to pedestrians and vehicles on the through road is essential for several reasons. This intersection design indicates that one road is the main thoroughfare, while traffic from the other road is required to stop.

By yielding, you prioritize the safety of pedestrians who may be crossing the road and vehicles that are continuing on the through road without stopping. Even though all vehicles must stop, your responsibility as a driver includes ensuring it is safe to proceed. This means being vigilant for any pedestrians who could be using the crosswalk or vehicles that may not have come to a complete stop.

In this context, while proceeding with caution is important, it does not clearly address the requirement to yield. Signaling before turning is a necessary practice, but it does not relate directly to the primary action you must take at the intersection. Turning without stopping is not a safe option since it would go against the rules of the stop signs for vehicles coming from the road that must yield. Thus, yielding to pedestrians and vehicles on the through road is the correct and safest action to take at such an intersection.
