What must you do when entering a roadway from a private driveway?

When entering a roadway from a private driveway, it is essential to yield to pedestrians and all vehicles already on the roadway. This rule ensures the safety of all road users by requiring drivers to grant the right of way to those who are already traveling on the public road. This practice helps prevent accidents and facilitates smoother traffic flow.

Yielding is particularly important because the vehicles on the roadway may be traveling at higher speeds than a vehicle coming from a stationary position in a driveway, and pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks. Additionally, turning on hazard lights or ignoring approaching vehicles would not provide any necessary measures for ensuring safe entry onto the roadway. Stopping and waiting for a green light is not applicable in this scenario as traffic signals do not control private driveways. Understanding and applying these rules is crucial for safe driving conduct and maintaining public safety.
