On a steep section of road where it is very difficult or impossible for two vehicles travelling in opposite directions to pass each other at the same time, which vehicle has right of way?
Right of way
Explanation
On a steep slope where it is difficult or impossible for two vehicles to pass at the same time in opposite directions, **the vehicle traveling uphill has the right of way**. This is because, when climbing a hill, it is more challenging for the vehicle to stop and then resume moving without losing momentum.
- **Exception:** If the vehicle going uphill has a closer safe place to stop than the vehicle going downhill, then it should yield the right of way. However, in general, the preference is for the vehicle going uphill.
This rule specifically applies to steep slopes, ensuring safer and smoother traffic flow under these conditions.
