Does a driver who has a yield sign at an intersection have to yield to another driver on his right who has a stop sign? |
[Edit] |
Answer
In the state of Washington, you must yield to the driver on your right at uncontrolled intersections and four way stops. An intersection such as you describe is unusual, and may have special laws in your state.
Answer
In the general rules of the road the person with the stop sign must first stop and THEN yield to others approaching the intersection; the person with the yield sign is only obligated to stop if others are "approaching." If another car is stopped at the stop sign, it is not "approaching" the intersection. If it is not stopped, then it is certainly approaching, and you would have to yield to the car on the right, even if the driver is breaking the law by not stopping! This is the general rule of not taking priority when you cannot do so safely.
