Careful with that. No one has the right-of-way at four-way stops in some (most? all?) states. Whoever enters the intersection first gets the right-of-way. Same reason you have the right-of-way to finish a left turn after your light turns red, if you were already in the intersection waiting for cross-traffic to clear/stop.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoHere in Australia, last time I checked, no one is considered to have right of way. Very one on the road must do everything reasonable to avoid a collision.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThat's not what it means.
- projektfu 6y agoThe “right of way” refers to the road, and it must be yielded to the car stopped simultaneously to the right in the US uniform traffic code.
- ghaff 6y agoBe careful with reliance on what many would consider to be a fairly obscure right-of-way rule. More commonly if it's not clear someone just waves someone else through. It's like depending on people knowing obscure operator precedence :-)
- projektfu 6y agoFollowing my rule, you would always either yield or verify that they have yielded. Seeing a wave can be a good verification. The annoying thing from people not knowing the rule is the “Mississippi standoff” with two cars at a 4 way stop sign waving at each other and not moving. :)
