    Answer: If your friend took his own advice (to read the driver guide), he might be inclined to retract his statement. I’ve checked with reliable sources, including the Revised Code of Washington ...

  3. Three-point turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_turn

    Performing a three-point turn (shown for right-hand traffic). The three-point turn (sometimes called a Y-turn, K-turn, or broken U-turn) is the standard method of turning a vehicle around to face the opposite direction in a limited space, using forward and reverse gears.

  4. Intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection

    The intersection (red) of two disks (white and red with black boundaries). The circle (black) intersects the line (purple) in two points (red). The disk (yellow) intersects the line in the line segment between the two red points. The intersection of D and E is shown in grayish purple. The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty ...

  5. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(geometry)

    The intersection points are: (−0.8587, 0.7374, −0.6332), (0.8587, 0.7374, 0.6332). A line–sphere intersection is a simple special case. Like the case of a line and a plane, the intersection of a curve and a surface in general position consists of discrete points, but a curve may be partly or totally contained in a surface.

  6. Rules for traffic lights - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_traffic_lights

    In some jurisdictions (such as New York City), [citation needed] there are ordinances or by-laws against "gridlocking".A motorist entering an intersection (even if on a green light) but unable to proceed and who gets stranded in the intersection (when traffic ahead fails to proceed), and who remains after the light turns red (thus blocking traffic from other directions) may be cited.

  7. Intersection number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_number

    Let X be a Riemann surface.Then the intersection number of two closed curves on X has a simple definition in terms of an integral. For every closed curve c on X (i.e., smooth function :), we can associate a differential form of compact support, the Poincaré dual of c, with the property that integrals along c can be calculated by integrals over X:

  8. Intersection curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_curve

    Intersection curve between polyhedrons: three houses Intersection of polyhedrons: two tori. The intersection curve of two polyhedrons is a polygon (see intersection of three houses). The display of a parametrically defined surface is usually done by mapping a rectangular net into 3-space. The spatial quadrangles are nearly flat.

  9. Transversality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversality_(mathematics)

    An intersection point between two arcs is transverse if and only if it is not a tangency, i.e., their tangent lines inside the tangent plane to the surface are distinct. In a three-dimensional space, two curves can be transverse only when they have empty intersection, since their tangent spaces could generate at most a two-dimensional space.
