Many Texas Intersection Crashes happen because Drivers don’t fully understand Right-of-Way Rules

The Texas Transportation Code at Section 545.151 provides the right-of-way rules to follow when approaching or entering an intersection. Basically, you have the right-of-way on a left turn onlyif you have a green left turn arrow. In other circumstances, you must either stop or yield to other drivers.

On a right turn, you only have the right-of-way with a green right turn arrow. And pedestrians in a crosswalk who are crossing the street on a walk light always have the right-of-way over motor vehicles, even if the motor vehicle has a green light.

Disregarding or failing to understand when another vehicle or a pedestrian has the right-of-way could cause an accident and put you at fault for any injuries or damage. So learn the right-of-way rules. And if someone else’s failure to understand or obey the rules harms you in an accident, give our Houston car accident lawyers a call. We could help you make the full financial recovery you deserve for the injuries they caused you.
