Two vehicles arrive at an intersection at the same time. Which statement is true regarding right-of-way?

• A. The car on the left must yield
• B. The car on the right must yield
• C. Both may proceed through at the same time
• D. Traffic signals are not needed for determination

Answer: (A)

When two vehicles reach an intersection at the same time, you yield to the vehicle on your right. That means the driver on the left must wait for the driver on the right to go first, so the left-hand vehicle yields and the right-hand vehicle proceeds. This rule helps prevent conflicts when there are no signals directing otherwise. The idea that the right-hand vehicle must yield or that both can go at once isn’t consistent with the standard right-of-way approach, and signals would only change things if they’re present. After the right-side vehicle passes, the left-side vehicle can proceed when it’s safe.
