What are drivers supposed to do when two or more vehicles arrive at a 4 way stop intersection at the same time?
Yield to right. When two vehicles arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time, and are located side-by-side, the vehicle furthest to the right has the right of way. If three vehicles arrive at the same time, the car furthest left should continue to yield until both of the other cars to the right of them have passed.
What is the best way to signal other drivers?
Watch for signals from other drivers. Signal your left or right turn during the last 100 feet before reaching the turning point. At highway speeds, it is best to signal at least five seconds before you change lanes. If bright sunlight makes signal lights hard to see, use hand-and-arm signals also.

If there are no traffic signs or signals in an intersection or junction, a vehicle approaching from the right has the right-of-way over a vehicle on its left.
Who has the right away at an intersection with no crosswalks?

Who has the right of way at an intersection with 2 stop signs?
The NHTSA gives rules for the United States. Right of way goes to the first person to stop. So if a line of cars were at both stop signs, and all cars wanted to make the same conflicting turns, they would alternate. If the opposing cars stop at the same time then the one turning right has the right of way.
Does left or right turn have right of way?
When you’re making a left-hand turn, you should always give the right-of-way to drivers who don’t have stop signs or yield signs. If you’re turning left at a green light, pull out into the intersection but wait to turn left until all oncoming traffic has passed.
What are the steps for turning left and right?
As you prepare to turn, reduce speed and stay as far to the right as possible. Begin the turn in the lane nearest to the right-hand curb and end the turn in the lane nearest the right-hand curb. Give turn signal. Yield to pedestrians who may be crossing your path.
What happens if two cars arrive at the intersection at the same time?
Always yield to the car that arrived first. If you and another driver reach the intersection at the same time, yield if the car is on your right. if two vehicles reach the intersection simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
Whats a controlled intersection?
Controlled intersections have signs, signals, and/or pavement markings to tell drivers and others what to do. The most common controlled intersection is one controlled with a stop sign. Yield signs and traffic signals are also used depending on the traffic flow through that particular intersection.
When a stop is required at an intersection and no markings?
