At a four-way stop where two vehicles arrive simultaneously, who goes first?

• A. The vehicle on the right goes first; if they arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the one on the right.
• B. The vehicle on the left goes first; if simultaneous, the one on the right yields.
• C. The larger vehicle goes first.
• D. Pedestrians always have priority.

Answer: (A)

At a four-way stop, the rule when two vehicles arrive at the same time is to yield to the vehicle on your right. This means the driver on the left must wait for the driver on the right, so the car on the right goes first. If one vehicle arrives earlier, that vehicle goes first, and the other waits its turn. As you proceed, make eye contact and use signals to communicate intentions, proceeding when it’s safe. Pedestrians always have priority in crosswalks, so yield to someone crossing if that situation occurs. The other options don’t fit because size doesn’t determine who goes first, and the simultaneous-arrival rule specifically centers on the right-hand vehicle’s priority.
