Who has the right of way at an uncontrolled intersection?

• A. The vehicle on the right, but proceed with caution.
• B. The vehicle on the left has priority.
• C. Pedestrians always have priority over vehicles at uncontrolled intersections.
• D. If another vehicle arrives, you must yield to it.

Answer: (A)

At an uncontrolled intersection, the vehicle on your right has the right of way. If you arrive at the same time as another vehicle, the one on your right goes first, and you should wait your turn. You still need to slow down, look for pedestrians and other road users, and only enter the intersection when it’s safe. If you arrive at different times, the earlier vehicle goes first, but you must always be prepared to yield if the other driver or a pedestrian is about to cross. Pedestrians have priority in crosswalks, but that doesn’t override the vehicle-right rule in every moment; stay alert for people crossing and be ready to stop if needed. The key idea is to recognize the vehicle on the right and proceed with caution.
