Question

Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

At an intersection controlled by an All-Way stop regulatory sign, a driver who halts completely first must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle arriving after them if that second vehicle is approaching from the right.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. The driver who arrives and stops first at an All-Way stop intersection has priority to proceed first, regardless of whether subsequent vehicles are on their right.
At an intersection controlled by an All-Way stop regulatory sign, right-of-way priority is determined by arrival sequence. The driver who reaches the intersection and comes to a complete stop first has the right-of-way to cross or turn first. Yielding to the vehicle on the right is exclusively a secondary tie-breaker rule that applies only when two or more vehicles come to a complete stop at the exact same time.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the controlling traffic sign and right-of-way framework.
The intersection is controlled by an All-Way stop regulatory sign.
All-Way stop signs dictate that every approaching lane must come to a complete stop before entering.
2
Apply the primary right-of-way rule for multi-way stops.
Vehicle arrival order determines proceeding order (first-to-arrive, first-to-go).
Sequential arrival establishes clear priority without relying on positional tie-breakers.
3
Determine when the yield-to-the-right rule applies.
Yielding to the right is a tie-breaker rule used only for simultaneous arrivals.
Since the first driver arrived before the second driver, the tie-breaker rule is not invoked.
