Ohio motor vehicle accident attorney, Scott Kuboff, discusses a driver’s duty to yield the right of way when entering a roadway. This duty is found in R.C. 4511.44

Ohio has several statutes providing rules on the right of way. These statutes are designed to create clarity as to what vehicle may go and what vehicle must stop so as to not cause collisions. Right of way statutes make traffic flow predictable and our roadways safe. When entering a roadway, R.C. 4511.44(A) provides "[t]he operator of a vehicle ... about to enter or cross a highway from any place other than another roadway shall yield the right of way to all traffic approaching on the roadway to be entered or crossed.”

If you have sustained an injury in a motor vehicle collision, please contact Scott for a no cost, no obligation consultation and case evaluation.
