At an uncontrolled intersection (no signs or signals), who has the right of way?

At an uncontrolled intersection (no stop, yield, or signal), the basic rules are: the driver who arrives first has the right of way; if two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right; if a driver is making a left turn while another is going straight or turning right, the left-turning driver yields. Uncontrolled intersections are common in residential areas and rural roads. Always slow down, look both ways, and proceed only when clearly safe — do not rely on the other driver to know the rules. Right-of-way rules tell you who must yield; they do not require the priority driver to enter the intersection if doing so would cause a crash.
