If you approach an uncontrolled intersection, one in which
there are no stop or yield signs or signals, slow down enough
to be able to stop for crossing traffic. You must yield to
traffic already in the intersection, or to the car that
arrived first, or to the car on the right if both of you
arrived at the same time. If you are at a "T" intersection,
the traffic on the through street has the right-of-way.
You will find these types of uncontrolled intersections mostly
in rural areas, and in little-traveled back roads. Do not be
lulled into thinking that you're the only one in the vicinity.
Some other day-tripper may be cruising along in the other
direction, enjoying the scenery but forgetting the rules.
Don't assume you're the only one on the road.

The blue car has the right-of-way when both cars arrive
at a stop sign at the same time or when there is an
uncontrolled intersection. |
