Practice question

At a four-way stop, if two vehicles arrive at the same time, which driver goes first?

  1. The driver on the left has the right-of-way.
  2. The driver turning left has the right-of-way.
  3. The driver on the right has the right-of-way.
  4. The driver going straight has the right-of-way.

Answer: C — The driver on the right has the right-of-way.

When two vehicles reach a four-way stop at roughly the same moment, priority goes to the driver on your right. This rule keeps the intersection moving smoothly and reduces clashes. So if you and another driver arrive simultaneously, you wait for the car on your right to go first, then proceed once the path is clear, signaling your turn and making sure it’s safe. If in doubt, slow down, make eye contact, and proceed cautiously after the other vehicle has cleared.
