the highway traffic act states, when at a four way stop controlled intersection, the vehicle that arrives first should proceed first. If two or more vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle to the right of the others should proceed first. Depending on where you live, it may also state that " no vehicle shall enter an intersection without a clear exit available. So, if you are turning left, there shouldn't be any other vehicle to contend with.
In road transport a Yield or Give Way sign indicated that a driver must be prepared to stop and yield or stop for another driver who has right of way
Everyone must yield to the person on their right.
(in the US) the generally recognized rule of the road is that if two vehicles arrive at an intersection at approximately the same time you always yield to the vehcle that it on your right. if there are no crosswalks and no stop/ yield signs then generally just pay attention to the other driver. but if it is a four way stop (stop sign on all four roads intersecting) law is whomever stops first goes first
In road transport a Yield or Give Way sign indicated that a driver must be prepared to stop and yield or stop for another driver who has right of way
It means that you have to yield, or stop, for the driver that has the right of way.
At intersections without "STOP" or "YIELD" signs, slow down and be ready to stop. Yield to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection or just entering the intersection.At "T" intersections without "STOP" or "YIELD" signs, yield to traffic and pedestrians on the through road. They have the right-of-way.
When you enter traffic from a stopped and position, always yield the right of way to
Let's identify first what a Yield sign is. The Yield sign is the only sign on the road (US) that is in the shape of a upside-down triangle with rounded corners, similarly to the stop sign, the stop sign is the only sign on the road that's in the shape of a octagon (has 8 sides). You'll usually see a Yield sign at an intersection, for instance traffic circles. You're not required to stop at the yield sign but you can if you have too to give way to traffic that doesn't have to stop period. Yield signs are not a sign that you blow through. The yield sign means that "You're not required to stop, but you don't have the right-of-way at this intersection." The yield sign is also less restrictive than the stop sign, you still have to give the right-of-way to other traffic, but you're not required to stop at a yield sign.
A stop sign, a One Way sign, and a Yield sign.
When you enter traffic from a stopped and position, always yield the right of way to
"Yield" means to give something to somebody who demands it. "Right of way" means the right to go through some place (like an intersetion.) If you see a "Yield" sign as you enter some kind of intersection, it means that somebody else (not you) has the right of way, and you must yield it to them. In the U.S.A., a YIELD sign means the same thing as a STOP sign except you don't have to stop---all you have to do is keep out of the other guy's way, and you're golden.
In the state of Arkansas the law says that a driver must stop at a yield sign ONLY if required for safety.In the general rules of the road the person with the stopsign must first stop and THEN yield to others approaching the intersection; the person with the yield sign is only obligated to stop if others are "approaching." If another car is stopped at the stop sign, it is not "approaching" the intersection. If it is not stopped, then it is certainly approaching, and you would have to yield to the car on the right, even if the driver is breaking the law by not stopping! This is the general rule of not taking priority when you cannot do so safely.
