Which statement is true?

• A. When proceeding through an intersection without a traffic light, and the cross road is wider than the one you are driving on, you must slow down regardless of visibility.
• B. Whenever you make a left or right turn, you must slow down.
• C. The rider of a large and regular size motorcycle has to wear a crash helmet whereas the rider of mopeds does not.
• D. On public roads where a speed limit is not indicated on traffic signs or pavement markings, the maximum speed for vehicles and mopeds (motorized bicycles) is 50 km/h.

Answer: (A)

At an intersection without traffic signals, priority is determined by the road you’re on relative to the cross street. If the cross street is wider, you’re on the narrower road and must slow down and give way to traffic on that cross street. Slowing down here isn’t about being able to see everything perfectly; it’s about creating the safe time and space to yield to vehicles on the wider road and avoid a collision. You should reduce speed and proceed only when you can enter the intersection without interfering with traffic on the cross street, even if you think visibility is good. This rule focuses on who must yield at an uncontrolled intersection based on road width, which is why the statement emphasizes slowing down regardless of visibility. The other statements either overgeneralize behavior (such as slowing down every time you turn), describe helmet rules that aren’t accurate, or state a default speed that isn’t universally applied, none of which align with this specific right-of-way principle.
