T-intersection
Road meets perpendicular road
A T-intersection is where one road ends by meeting another at a roughly perpendicular angle, forming a T shape.
The driver on the terminating road must turn left or right.
Slow down as you approach the T-intersection.
Traffic rules typically give right-of-way to vehicles on the through road.
