What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code 21800 governs right-of-way at intersections without functioning signals, requiring drivers to yield to a vehicle that has already entered the intersection from a different roadway. When two vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the one on the right. Failure to yield right-of-way is a common factor in intersection collisions involving motorcyclists.

California Vehicle Code 22350, the state’s basic speed law, prohibits driving at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent for the conditions, regardless of the posted limit. A driver traveling too fast for visibility or roadway conditions at an intersection can be found in violation even at or below the posted speed. Investigators often examine speed as a contributing factor in nighttime intersection crashes.
