Right of way laws govern the order in which drivers of all vehicles, including mopeds, pedestrians, and bicyclists must proceed through intersections. To a large degree, right of way laws are based on common sense and courtesy. Rather than setting forth rules for which vehicle should proceed first through an intersection, however, right of way laws determine which vehicle should yield at an intersection. For instance, at an intersection without any stop signs or traffic lights, right of way laws require you to yield to any vehicles or pedestrians already in the intersection, or to those vehicles or pedestrians that first arrived at the intersection. If your vehicle and another vehicle reach the intersection at the same time, then you should yield if the other vehicle is on your right. If you are on the other vehicle's right, however, the other vehicle should yield to you. However, you should always yield to another vehicle, under any circumstances, in order to ensure your safety, and/or the safety of another person or vehicle.
