Which statement about uncontrolled intersections is true?

• A. They have no signs or signals governing traffic
• B. They always have traffic signals
• C. They require a police officer to direct traffic
• D. They are never found on rural roads

Answer: (A)

Uncontrolled intersections rely on drivers using basic right-of-way rules because there are no traffic-control devices guiding movement. Since there are no signs or signals, you must determine who goes first using standard rules and proceed with caution. This is why the statement is true: there are no signs or signals governing traffic at these intersections.

The other ideas aren’t correct because not every intersection has signals, and police directing traffic only happens in special situations or emergencies. Also, you can find uncontrolled intersections on rural roads, so they’re not exclusive to any particular setting. In practice, slow down, check for cross traffic, and yield appropriately—generally to vehicles on your right or whoever arrived first—before proceeding when it’s safe.
