# Cell Phones Anything that distracts from the task of driving makes it more likely that driver will be involved in a traffic crash. Kansas law prohibits...
The use of any electronic device to “write, send, or read” a written communication while driving. (Does not include GPS devices or weather reports).
26
# Right-Of-Way * Emergency vehicles (police cars, fire engines and ambulances) have the right-of-way when they are displaying a red light in front or when they signal with a siren or bell. Immediately drive to the right and stop until the emergency vehicles have passed. NEVER follow such vehicles. * When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle from the rear that is using flashing warning lights on a street or highway with two or more lanes in each direction, proceed with due caution and move to a lane that is not next to the stopped emergency vehicle. If it is not possible to change lanes, then the driver must reduce speed and proceed with due caution. * You must yield to construction vehicles and workers that are actually engaged in work on the roadway. Just as with emergency vehicles, you must move into a traffic lane that is not next to the construction vehicles when you encounter one working on the road. * The driver of a vehicle turning left must yield the right-of-way to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. If both cars enter the intersection at the same time, the car going straight through has the right-of-way.
27
# Right-Of-Way * Vehicles on a public street or highway have the right-of-way over vehicles entering from a private drive or side road. * The driver of a vehicle within a business or residential district emerging from an alley, driveway or building, must stop immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk or onto the sidewalk area extending across any alleyway or driveway. After stopping the driver shall then yield the right-of-way. * Cars controlled by a yield sign need stop only when necessary to avoid interfering with other traffic that has the right-of-way, including pedestrians. * Do not enter an intersection, crosswalk, or RR crossing unless there is sufficient space on the other side for your vehicle. Even though you may have a green light, you may not enter an intersection if there isn’t room to get all the way across.
