It's your choice, provided that, if you do it, you do so in a safe manner which does not impede traffic (or impede it further than it already is). Being the vehicle already in the lane of travel, you have right of way. The merging vehicle is required to yield to you - not the other way around. However, there is no guarantee that they will heed by this, since the average motorist.... isn't exactly a rocket scientist, to put it lightly.

Added: If the line of traffic that you are in appears that it will cause you to stop in a position that will obstruct the intersection, preventing traffic flow, you must halt before you actually enter the interesection and not move forward until there is sufficient room on the other side of the interesection for you to move into.

What happens if you have right of way at a four way intersection and you are hit by another car?

- A driver approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the intersection. (traffic in the intersection has the right of way) - If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right. (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way) - Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle. The driver on the left must yield the right-of way.

What is the Yield traffic sign supposed to mean?

The Yield traffic sign is intended to represent to a driver who has the clear path to continue through an intersection first. It's intended to mean that a driver must yield to oncoming traffic from his or her right side. Yielding means allowing that incoming driver to go first. This is the concept known as right of way and the yield sign is supposed to mean that everyone can drive more safely within an orderly traffic system.

On a traffic light in which position is the green light?

Lights are situated as red, yellow, green. In complicated traffic patterns, lights can be arrows, or the /do not/ indicators. When a traffic light is non-functioning at an intersection, the first to the right has right of way, and each driver from each of the 4 sides takes a turn in that order.
