    That rule also exists.

    In general if you are the one to turn/leave your lane, you have to yield to everyone you would somehow cross. Also pedestrians, cyclists, etc. Which IMO also makes sense, since the one who turns knows that he will turn and can monitor his surroundings more closely than every other one affected.

    Now what you spoke of earlier: if a crossing has no signs whatsoever, the rule is that you always yield to the one coming from your right. So unless there’s someone on all four streets that lead to the crossing, it resolves itself. Otherwise one of them has to give up their right and let someone else throughs. The rule I mentioned before has still precedence.

      Just to add to this: in the US if two cars pull up to an unmarked intersection at the same time, the car to the right has the right of way. This means that if you pull up to an intersection at the same time as a car to your right does, that car has the right of way.

      The only reason I bring this up is because a lot of people here don’t actually know this. Usually people use hand motions to tell the other driver to go instead of relying on the rule, but technically the rule exists.

      Edit: Just realized this matches the German rule.
