Practice question

At a four-way stop, which statement best describes the order of right of way?

  1. The first vehicle to arrive has the right of way.
  2. The vehicle on the right goes first.
  3. The vehicle that honks first goes first.
  4. All vehicles go at the same time.

Answer: A — The first vehicle to arrive has the right of way.

At a four-way stop, who goes first is based on arrival time. The first vehicle to arrive has the right of way, meaning it can proceed once the way is clear. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the right goes first. Honking isn’t a rule, and all cars moving at once isn’t safe. So the statement that the first vehicle to arrive has the right of way is the best description.
