developing your smart driving skills driving tip Stopping at intersections  42 Be careful when you want to turn left where other traffic is  approaching from the opposite direction. Yield to traffic that is  in or near the intersection. If you intend to go straight through  and a vehicle is already in the intersection turning left, you must  yield. If a traffic control person  is directing traffic, you  must follow that person’s  directions.  There are rules about where you position your vehicle when you  have to stop at an intersection. If ther is an unmarked cr osswalk, stop where you would if there were a marked crosswalk. Where there is no stop line, no  crosswalk and no sidewalk, stop just  before you enter the intersection.  If ther is a stop line, stop just  before the line.  If there is a crosswalkbut no stop line, stop just before the  crosswalk.
