Wood, J.
This is an action for damages for personal injuries resulting from a collision of plaintiff’s automobile and defendant’s truck at an intersection of streets in Los Angeles. Defendant filed a cross-complaint. Judgment, upon verdicts, was in favor of defendant upon the complaint, and *165 in favor of cross-defendant (plaintiff) upon the cross-complaint. Plaintiff appeals from the judgment.
Appellant contends that the court erred (1) in overruling his objection to certain questions which were asked him on cross-examination; and (2) in giving certain instructions.
The collision occurred on April 5, 1960, about 11:30 a.m., at the intersection of 111th Place and Main Street. 111th Place, extending east and west, is 40 feet wide. Main Street, a “through highway” extending north and south, is 52 feet wide—with a double white line in the center, on each side of which there are a 10-foot-wide marked lane and a 16-foot-wide shoulder. At the southwest and northeast corners of the intersection there are stop signs requiring vehicular traffic on 111th Place to stop before entering the intersection. Signs had been erected in the area restricting vehicular speed to 30 miles an hour.
