Who Must Yield at T-Intersections? - Keetick L. Sanchez

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. - Navigating New York’s bustling roads often means encountering T-intersections, where understanding right-of-way rules is crucial for ensuring safety. In our latest podcast, we delve into the article Who Must Yield at T-Intersections? to explore the legal and practical aspects of these common intersections. We discuss how New York traffic laws define yielding responsibilities and highlight the importance of adhering to right-of-way rules to prevent accidents and promote smooth traffic flow. T-intersections may seem straightforward, but improper yielding can lead to serious legal and safety consequences.
The podcast covers key topics, including the role of the pure comparative negligence system in determining fault when accidents occur at T-intersections. For instance, drivers approaching from the stem of the "T" must yield to through-road traffic, while those on the through road have their own responsibilities when turning left or ensuring the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. We also discuss how New York’s no-fault insurance system addresses claims and how exceptions, such as meeting the serious injury threshold, allow for pursuing personal injury lawsuits to recover damages beyond basic economic losses.
Listeners will gain insights into defensive driving strategies that can reduce risks at T-intersections. These strategies include maintaining safe speeds, anticipating the actions of other drivers, and remaining alert to the presence of pedestrians and cyclists. The podcast also examines the role of daylighting, a safety measure that improves visibility at intersections by removing obstructions near roadways. Together, these measures are essential for fostering safer driving conditions and reducing the likelihood of collisions.
