Assuming you mean "the vehicle going straight from the opposite direction": Yes, unless it is a four-way stop or you are crossing a thru-way with stop signs on each side. In these cases, the person who arrives and stops first will have the right of way over other stopped drivers, unless those drivers fail to stop or yield, in which case you would have an obligation to avoid a collision (yield) if you can do so safely. This is the "last clear chance" doctrine adopted in many states. Whoever had the last clear chance to avoid a collision is responsible for causing it.
