At an intersection, what must you do if you want to turn right?

When you approach an intersection with the intention to turn right, yielding to oncoming traffic is essential for safety and compliance with road rules. This action ensures that you do not impede vehicles approaching from the opposite direction, as they may also be going straight or turning left. By yielding, you allow these vehicles to pass safely, minimizing the risk of collisions.

In many traffic scenarios, if you are turning right at a signalized intersection, you must also ensure that any traffic lights or signs indicate it’s safe to do so. Yielding is a critical part of defensive driving, putting you in a better position to make safe decisions while navigating through intersections.

The other options do not contribute to safe driving practices at an intersection. Accelerating quickly could increase the risk of an accident. Ignoring traffic signals could lead to traffic violations and dangerous situations. Using the horn to alert others might be necessary in some contexts but is not a standard procedure for turning right at an intersection.
