RoadSense Studio
Right-of-way practice, one moment at a time
Step through a real situation, stop at the decision point, choose — then watch what should happen and read the rule behind it. Every scene works with the keyboard and can be read as text; animation respects your reduced-motion setting.

Left turn on a solid green
A green light permits your left turn — it does not protect it.
Green light. Your light is solid green. You want to turn left. A red car approaches from the opposite direction, going straight.
Rule: On a circular green you may go straight or turn, but turning traffic yields to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to vehicles in the intersection, and a left turn also yields to oncoming traffic close enough to be a hazard.

Scenes that depend on state law
All-way stops, sirens and school buses are governed by state law. We show these scenes only on the pages of states whose own handbook we checked for that rule — elsewhere they are withheld rather than assumed.
