One of the problems that I see pretty much every where, is that drivers don't know the right of way rules for intersections. I can't tell you how many times I've approached an intersection and a car that has either gotten their before me or is on my right sits there and waits for me to go. When I finally decide that they are going to go first, I begin to proceed and, of course, they begin to proceed at the same time. Then we play the little start stop game until one of us goes. It's very simple the car that gets to the intersection first has the right of way. If two cars get there at the same time the one on the right has the right of way. It's simple but I would bet that over half the people on the road don't understand it.
Can you just post the right of way rules? thanks.
