What is a controlled intersection?

I’m enrolled in my high school’s driver’s ed program and studying for a driving test. What is a controlled intersection?

It’s always a good time to learn the rules of the road! A controlled intersection is an intersection that has signs or signals telling drivers what to do once they reach said intersection. These include stop signs, yield signs, traffic signals, and pavement markings.
In certain situations, an officer or another official may direct traffic at what’s otherwise a controlled intersection; in that case, you’d *follow their directions**.
Best of luck! When you’re ready to take to the road yourself, you’ll want to make sure your vehicle’s covered by the right
car insurance
policy. Generally, car insurance for young drivers can be expensive, but there are all kinds of ways you can go about finding savings, like getting on a multi-car insurance plan with your family. The
