Driving You Crazy: Who has the right-of-way at a two-way stop if you're making a left?

This guy just lied to you and then said what the handbook says. It says you have to yield to traffic coming across. It does not say you have to yield to traffic coming across from multiple instances. You yield to the traffic that might possibly have stopped at the stop sign before you that he’s going straight that is not making a left-hand turn. But you sure as hell don’t need to wait for three people to do that if cross traffic allows you to make the turn. The news just misinformed everyone. They do it on a daily basis. This is insulting.

It seems that the handbook is actually written incorrectly. You don’t need to yield to people coming across for multiple instances and the handbook fails to say so. Regardless of whether the handbook is written correctly or not, the rules of driving remain. Colorado can’t get anything right so I’m not surprised that the government screwed this one up. There was probably a Freemason that didn’t want to yield to somebody making a left-hand turn every morning out of his townhouse so he wrote the law the way it would benefit him. That’s what happens in Colorado. Your government has been hijacked by secret society criminals. The way people live in Colorado is not how normal people across the United States live. People in Colorado live like people in California and they live like New World order slaves that love the enslavement of their government and the theft of all of their money by the government.

I luv it when everyone is stopped because they weren't paying attention as to who stopped first, then as one vehicle decides to go, a bicycle comes blowing through mucking up the whole confounded situation.

How you supposed to yield if the person speeding

You can sit there and wait until the other side clears while blocking traffic behind you, but if I come to the stop sign first, and the road is clear, I'm going.
This is the reason why I plan my routes to avoid having to make as few left turns as possible.

The laws seem to be conflicted. At the very least, people are conflicted. I'm with the "straight has right of way" no matter when cars got there. That's how it would be a light. With a light, it doesn't matter when you got there or how many people are in the queue. Drive predictably people. No one expects to yield to a left-turner unless he's got a green arrow at a light.

I literally had to look this up so thank you bc people are idiots and confusing

It's insane how many people don't know how to handle a 2-way stop.
At least once a week, I have someone try to turn left in front of me, when I'm going straight... then they have the audacity to freak out, like I'm in the wrong.
They are going to be in for shock when they cause an accident.

Should be first come first serve…thats how we drive in PA no matter what the book says.

If you watch this video again and see the traffic, the white truck pulls up to the stop sign to go straight and the person opposite of the truck made the left lol which makes sense to me

If there's this much problems they need to add it to the dmv book or make it a traffic light if there's that much traffic.

I'm so confused. I get told at a four way stop basically who arrives first goes first. Ok that makes sense but then they go if you all arrive at the same time the person to the right of you has the right way but everyone has someone to the right so wtf does that mean.

Feel like most people would still operate by first to the stop, first to go. Probably would be good to make sure people are more clearly informed on what's right.

I didn't realize people in Denver didn't know how to handle two way stop signs.

This guy just explained “The Rule,” THEN SAID THE COLORADO HANDBOOK DIDN’T ADDRESS THE SITUATION!!!!!

In other words: He made the whole thing up!!!!

There is NO RULE for this scenario, at least in Colorado.

I just passed my driving test last week so alot of the information is still fresh, left turns are more dangerous than traveling straight though an intersection so the general rule of yielding applies to 2 way stops no matter if you arrived first.

This does create a problem during the day if the road is pretty wide and you cannot clearly see any turn signals or drivers not using or 'forgetting' to use them which further increases the likelihood of an accident.

How is this shocking?

I was at a 2 way stop at an intersection and the guy wants to turn left. I just have to go straight. I have the right of way to go first right?

This drives me crazy. We get to the intersection at the same time and the person opposite to me waits for me to go. Now we're both sitting there and more cars show up. Left turns should always yield. Simple

You're wrong Jayson. First to arrive to the intersection would be the car turning AFTER the first opposite direction driver. IF it's a controlled intersection, either 2 way stop or 4 way stop. It does not work as in an intersection that has stoplights, wrong analogy.

Nice video!

And then in canada here we have the straight through people always waving the other on first which gets confusing because like no bro YOURE supposed to go not me

If I'm there first and I'm making my left turn before the other person that means I have the right of way if we're both there at the same time then they can go... What the fuck is so hard to understand about this

If you're there first you go first If you're there at the same time or you have to wait for traffic then you wait for the person to go straight it's pretty simple... Or you do the nice thing and wave the person on because they were their first and you don't cause a conflict in the first place

How does that make sense? Let’s say you stop at a stop sign signalling left and there’s a lineup of like 25 cars on the other side all going straight, so you’re supposed to just sit there and yield the entire time while traffic inevitably builds up behind you?

Good Luck trying to To these Crazy Metro Atlanta and city of Atlanta. Cause they drive down here there out to kill you and driving they don’t give a crap if they did. They wouldn’t do the stupid things they do, or we’ll at least try not to. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

You would be killed in the streets by some rager if you tried to actually yield to a whole line of cars like this lol

thats why they invented round abouts

So if you get there a minute before someone else pulls up and your making a left turn and there going straight and cross traffic clears, you have to wait for that person going straight to go first? It is understandable if you get there at the same time, the person going straight has the right of way over the person turning left.
