When three or more vehicles arrive at the same time, drivers should make eye contact and proceed cautiously, generally yielding to the right.
This standardized system of right-of-way prevents collisions and ensures smooth traffic flow at intersections. Adherence to these rules promotes safety and predictability for all drivers. Historically, these conventions evolved from the need to regulate increasing traffic complexity in urban environments and on more frequently travelled roads. Clear right-of-way rules minimize confusion and potential conflicts.
