In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), what is the right-of-way rule when driving out from a private driveway, parking lot, or petrol station (utforkjøring)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. The entering driver must yield right-of-way to all traffic on the public road, including pedestrians on the pavement

  1. Step 1: Under § 7 nr. 4 of Trafikkreglene, drivers entering from a private property, courtyard, parking lot, or petrol station have an absolute duty to yield. Answer: The entering driver must yield right-of-way to all traffic on the public road, including pedestrians on the pavement. Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
