Under RA 4136:

SECTION 46. Parking Prohibited in Specified Places. – No driver shall park a vehicle, or permit it to stand, whether attended or unattended, upon a highway in any of the following places:

(a) Within an intersection.
(b) On a crosswalk.
(c) Within six meters of the intersection of curb lines.
(d) Within four meters of the driveway entrance to and fire station.
(e) Within four meters of a fire hydrant.
(f) In front of a private driveway.
(g) On the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the curb or edge of the highway.
(h) At any place where official signs have been erected prohibiting parking.

Section 42
(c) The driver of any vehicle upon a highway within a business or residential district shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing such highway within a crosswalk, except at intersections where the movement of traffic is being regulated by a peace officer or by traffic signal. Every pedestrian crossing a highway within a business or residential district, at any point other than a crosswalk shall yield the right of way to vehicles upon the highway.

The Right of Way Principle:

Right-of-Way in traffic is: Having the right to use a specific traffic path, instead of another driver.

Yield to/ let pass those in the right of way.

This right-of-way policy is important especially in times when there are accidents, and it is being figured out which party is the right or wrong. Who is liable for the accident. etc.

Who has the right of way?

– In intersections: those already inside the intersection
– In intersections: if 2 of you approach the intersection, the 1 at the right has the right of way
– In rotondas: those already going around the rotonda
– Pedestrians crossing at crosswalk
– Ambulance, police cars, fire department vehicles

To-dos to Respect Right of Way Rules :

AT ALL INTERSECTIONS without “stop” or “yield” signs, slow down and prepare to stop.
If vehicles are already in the middle or preparing to enter it, yield/ let them pass.
Yield to the vehicle on your right if it has reached the intersection of same time as your vehicle.
At Stop signs: Stop at any limit line or crosswalk. Yield to all approaching vehicles on the through street, go only when it is safe for you to cross. Approaching vehicles should slow down and allow you to get across safely.
At Left Turns: Signal left turn and yield to approaching traffic until it is completely safe to finish the turn.
At Rotondas: When entering a highway, yield the right-of-way to cars on the highway.
Give the Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicles sounding a siren or bell or flashing a red light by pulling to the edge of the roadway and stopping. In the event traffic is so congested as to prevent you from safely doing so, slow down and leave a clear path for the emergency vehicles.


So far these are the applicable laws that I have seen. However, its common sense na dapat hwag harangan ang tawiran diba? Imagine yourself to be a pedestrian and may nakaharang na sasakyan sa dadaanan mo.
