Generally the one that arrived first.
You ALWAYS yield to the vehicle on your right.
If you reach an uncontrolled intersection at close to the same time, the vehicle who actually reached the intersection last is the driver who must yield the right of way. If you reach the intersection at the same time, the driver on the left should yield the right of way.
Oncoming Traffic
- 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. ( the driver on the right has the right of way) -Never insist on the right-away
Note: the law does not allow anyone the right-of-way, it only states who must yield. If two drivers arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, the driver on the left should yield to the driver on the right. When someone is legally required to yield the right-of-way and fails to yield, other drivers are required to yield for safety.
Yes, the car has to yield
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.
Answer about left turnsCarefully, unless you are in China. The person turning left must yield to oncoming traffic. At a regular traffic light, you should enter the intersection. When the oncoming traffic stops for the red light you Amy proceed in order to clear the intersection.
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.
No. Sometimes you are the first - unless you always jump the lights.
yield and look both ways
