Two cars in a median, one in an apartment complex, who has the right of way?

Question

Here is the situation. I live in an apartment complex on the side of a busy highway. There is a median with a wide open center lane that you can use to get in. There is no light. I live in Florida.

There are two cars, A and B, in the median/center lane waiting to turn left to enter the complex. There is one car, C, already in the complex waiting to turn left to get onto the highway. Is it correct that car C has to wait for B to turn left and enter the complex before he can leave the complex?

Does it matter that B was stopped?

What if car B is some distance behind car A. Car A turns left to enter the complex just as B is entering the median. Does car C still have to wait for B, or does B have to stop for C?

oklatom, i think this question is too complicated for you.

Answer 1

The vehicles on the main road have the right of way over the vehicle entering the roadway. In this case C should wait for both A and B. If traffic is a problem, perhaps C should turn right, and make a U turn either at a safer spot, or a intersection with a traffic light!

Answer 2

Cars on the roadway have the right of way. The only way C could pull out first is if there is no room for two vehicles to get through that driveway.

Answer 3

1. The vehicle there first has the right of way.
2. The vehicle leaving the highway would have right of way over the vehicle entering the highway.
3. Common sense says you would stop, regardless of who would have the right of way, to avoid hitting another vehicle.
