You have to stop and check for any oncoming traffic and you have to yield to other vehicles and pedestrians crossing the road. In cases where you're not sure who has right of way or the junction is unmarked, the rule of thumb is that you should yield to cars to your right and you have priority to cars on your left.
Don't presume everybody else is as clued up as you about it - some might presume that junctions work on a first arrival basis instead so look at other drivers to see what they are doing before proceeding. Wyoming law on child seats is different to mos other states. Children must use federally approved child car seats and must sit in the back except in unusual cases where all the rear seats in the vehicle are already occupied by children.
Unusually, all children up to age 9 have to be in a child seat except where the child is sufficiently tall to wear a seat belt properly across the collarbone, chest and lap. The wording is a little vague and I'd recommend staying on the safe side and using a car seat anyway. Another unusual point is that there are no legal stipulations as to whether the car seat has to be backward facing, forward facing or when children must transition from one to the other.
As long as the seats meet the federal requirements, you can choose whatever you are comfortable with! Remember that if you are coming from abroad, not all car seats conform to U.
Even those from Canada, the UK and other countries will often not be approved for use in the United States including Wyoming. Check ahead of your trip - your options if you need to get hold of a child car seat are to rent one along with a hire car or to buy one.
Renting sounds good until you find out that it can cost more than buying the seat outright and the state of some rental company seats can be questionable. A good option is to buy one in Walmart, use it for your trip and then get rid of it at the end - unfortunately sometimes there isn't a better option. Hopefully you will never have the need to deal with the police or commit any traffic violations while you are in Wyoming, but just to make sure I thought, I'd add a few points for you keep in mind.
The most obvious piece of advice about driving in Wyoming relates to drinking. Driving under influence DUI is an extremely serious offense and I would urge you to be extremely careful not to put yourself in a situation where you could be breaking the law. Wyoming law has set the bar at a blood alcohol concentration of 0. You can also be charged with DUI if the officer deems you to be clearly intoxicated without conducting a test.
You can be charged if you are in charge of the vehicle whether or not you are driving. If you are over the limit and are parked off the road with the engine off, you can still be done for DUI.
Whether or not you have drunk any, it is an offense with very stiff penalties. If you've been to a restaurant and are transporting an unfinished bottle of wine back with you, carry it in the trunk.
Some restaurants may be able to reseal the bottle and place it in a tamper-proof bag that also contains the receipt, but I'd wager that you will struggle to find a restaurant in Wyoming that has these bags readily available. If you're driving along and a police officer indicates for you to stop or turns on their blue lights, find a safe place and pull over. The following is not legal advice but if you want things to go smoothly, be polite and courteous, do exactly what the police officer tells you to do and answer questions properly.
There's a lot of people who will tell you otherwise, but in my experience if you have nothing to hide and want to be on your way quickly, pull over, pull down your window, switch off the the engine and place both hands on the steering wheel. Always confirm with the officer if you are going to reach into pockets or concealed parts of the car to get any paperwork out and be honest - you'll usually be on your way promptly. If you've committed a traffic offense, in most cases you will get a fine and unless you're planning to go to court to contest it, just make sure you pay it before the due date and in any case before your leave Wyoming.
Make sure you do the obvious - don't park in restricted areas, in front of driveways or near junctions. Check for signs - most of the time parking will be free. Some cities will have time-based restrictions of a few hours and sometimes you can park for as long as 3 days.
Some cities in Wyoming including Jackson have free parking lots where you can park for longer if you're coming to stay. Remember that in the winter, some cities prohibit all parking on the streets overnight to help with clearing the snow so make sure you move your vehicle or it will get towed.
Renting a car in Wyoming is simple enough whether you're flying in or want to get a car for a weekend road trip. If you're coming from outside the U. Although it's not compulsory, you might come across a less than co-operative person on the rental desk if you don't bring one.
Book your car ahead of time online to avoid disappointment and get the best rate. Remember that most car rental companies in Wyoming will only rent cars to overs. Some will go as low as 21 although you'll have to pay a hefty premium. Your rental company will give you the necessary paperwork when you're picking the car up, but check if you'll need any extras and book them in advance to save time and money.
