Right of way in an intersection is the point of the attack in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Laius enters the Delphi-Daulia intersection from the Theban side. Oedipus enters from the Delphi side. Laius's charioteer jostles Oedipus, who then is hit on the head with Laius' double whip. Laius takes away Oedipus' right of way because he considers it his due as a royal.
