A red car and a yellow van reach an intersection with no sign regulating priority, both on paved roads. The car approaches from the van’s right and their paths cross. With no applicable exception, who has priority?

Correct answer

The red car.

The red car, because it approaches from the van’s right. In the absence of a priority sign, Article 57 requires yielding to vehicles approaching from the right, subject to its exceptions. Vehicle size and sounding the horn do not grant priority. Even with priority, check that passage is safe.
