Drivers may not pass.

Hydroplaning is caused by driving too fast on a wet road. Slow down when driving on wet pavement to prevent hydroplaning.

8. When approaching an uncontrolled intersection, a driver should:

Maintain their speed and proceed.

Stop at the intersection, check in all directions, and proceed.

Yield to all other drivers.

Be prepared to yield.

At an intersection where there is no stop sign or traffic signal, you should yield to a vehicle approaching the intersection from the right. However, always be prepared to yield to avoid a crash. Do this by taking your foot off the accelerator, covering the brake, and looking left, right, and left again.
