Blind intersections — California Permit Test

Blind intersections on the California permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

An intersection is considered blind if it has no stop signs at any corner, and the speed limit for a blind intersection is 15 mph.

Nobody has to stop there, so the only thing keeping it safe is how slowly everybody arrives.

If your view is blocked at a blind intersection, move slowly forward until you can see.

Creeping forward buys you the view without putting the whole car into the cross traffic.

On the test

What is the speed limit at a blind intersection?

15 mph. Nobody has to stop there, so the only thing keeping it safe is how slowly everybody arrives. California Driver’s Handbook, p.51: “An intersection is considered blind if it has no stop signs at any corner.”

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
