Also, if you come to a stop at the same time with two cars at right angles, the car on the right has the "right of way".

- shiandow 3y agoOver here I'm pretty sure that's the only rule. Having whoever came there first go sounds like it could get very confusing in even vaguely ambiguous cases.
- mh- 3y agoIt really isn't. When there's a "tie", one human waves the other to go.
- brewdad 3y agoEspecially since Covid it seems like the rule is "If everyone else is stopped, I can blow right through the stop sign. They'll wait."
- JohnFen 3y agoIn my observations in my state, the "who gets there first goes first" is very much not confusing. What seems to confuse people is that with ties, people forget if the rule is the person to the right goes first, or to the left. So in practice, this tends to be negotiated using hand signals.
- gpsx 3y agoI think this is a rule in Europe but I am not aware of this being a rule in the US.
- brewdad 3y agoIt is but it's one of those rules that gets half a sentence in the drivers manual that people cram when they turn 16 and never think about again.
