Vehicle Approaching or Entering Intersection

CHAPTER 265, RULES OF THE ROAD, Overtaking and Passing, Highway Markings, Right of Way, Section 265:28, Vehicle Approaching or Entering Intersection. –
I. The driver of every vehicle approaching or entering an intersection on the left shall yield the right of way to the vehicle on the right, unless otherwise designated by an official traffic control device or otherwise directed by a police officer.
II. The right of way rule declared in paragraph I is modified at through highways and otherwise as provided in this chapter.

Many times drivers come to an intersection controlled by 4 stop signs and they do not know who has the right of way.

• By law, the vehicle on the right has the right of way. 
• If the vehicles are across from each other, the vehicle turning right or going straight has the right of way. 
• Vehicles turning left must always yield to vehicles going straight or turning right.
