(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
What else can I help you with?
When two cars arrive at an intersection at the same time which one has the rightofway?

Why are some crosswalks marked with diagonal lines?
These allow diagonal crossing. All vehicular traffic stops, and pedestrians are allowed to cross left, right, or diagonally across the intersection.
Who has the right of way at this intersection: drivers or pedestrians?
Pedestrians have the right of way at intersections, as they are more vulnerable and need to cross safely. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and at intersections.
What are the rules and regulations to follow when approaching a two-way intersection?
When approaching a two-way intersection, you should follow these rules and regulations: come to a complete stop at a stop sign, yield to oncoming traffic if there is no stop sign, obey traffic signals, and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Make sure to look both ways before proceeding through the intersection to ensure it is safe to do so.
If a car hits a pedestrian crossing where there is a crosswalk sign who is responsible in California?
Crosswalks A crosswalk is that part of the pavement where the sidewalk lines would extend across the street and it is set aside for pedestrian traffic. Every intersection has a pedestrian crosswalk whether or not there are painted lines on the street. Most crosswalks are at corners but they can also be in the middle of the block. Before turning a corner, watch for people about to cross the street. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. Crosswalks are often marked with white lines. Yellow crosswalk lines may be painted at school crossings. Most often, crosswalks in residential areas are not marked. Some crosswalks have flashing lights to warn you that pedestrians may be crossing. Look for pedestrians and be prepared to stop, whether or not the lights are flashing.

In California, it is legal to ride bikes on crosswalks as long as cyclists yield to pedestrians and follow traffic signals.
What are some examples of right of way rules at intersections?

What is the average number of people killed from crosswalks?
14k
Do lighted crosswalks prevent accidents?
No, but they help to reduce them
What is the benefit of having crosswalks?
To run people down.
What safety measures are in place to ensure the visibility and effectiveness of crosswalks in residential areas?
Safety measures in place to ensure the visibility and effectiveness of crosswalks in residential areas include clear signage, high-visibility markings, adequate lighting, and traffic calming measures such as speed bumps or raised crosswalks. These measures help to alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians and encourage them to yield the right of way at crosswalks.
