Which driver goes first

Traffic puzzles aren’t just logic tests; they’re practical tools that boost road safety smarts. Picture this: three cars, labeled 1, 2, and 3, are at an intersection, all raring to go. But who gets to move first? The answer’s in the details. Let’s break it down and get a grip on the traffic rules that call the shots.

These puzzles mirror real driving situations, prodding you to think hard about road signs, right-of-way rules, and good driving manners. They don’t just sharpen your decision-making; they prep you for on-road curveballs. Let’s use this puzzle as a fun and educational way to nail intersection logic.

Before we crack the solution, it’s key to know why these puzzles often stump folks. Here are the usual slip-ups:

Lots of people fixate only on car positions and miss the yield or priority signs that decide who goes first. Signs are crucial for getting it right.

Sometimes, folks wrongly assume rules like “the car on the right always moves first” work every time.

Mixing up roads with different priorities or misreading the “right-hand rule” can lead to bad calls.
