What should a driver do when entering a roadway from a place other than another roadway?

When a driver is entering a roadway from a location that is not another roadway, such as a parking lot, driveway, or private property, it is crucial to prioritize safety and follow the appropriate traffic rules. In this situation, yielding to all vehicles on the roadway is the proper action required by law. This ensures that the driver does not interfere with the flow of traffic and allows for safe integration into the roadway.

Yielding gives existing road users the right of way, minimizing the risk of collisions and ensuring a smoother transition into the roadway. This is particularly important because vehicles on the roadway may be traveling at higher speeds and have the right-of-way established by traffic regulations. By yielding, the driver gives themselves an opportunity to assess oncoming traffic and safely merge without causing disruption or danger to themselves or others.

While stopping and looking for pedestrians is also an important safety measure, yielding to vehicles on an official roadway takes precedence in this specific context due to the statutory requirements governing road traffic.
