Who has the right of way at an intersection?

Answer: C — Vehicles on the major street

At an intersection, the vehicles on the major street have the right of way. This is because they typically have more traffic and a higher speed limit, making it safer for them to continue without stopping. Pedestrians on sidewalks have right of way only when they have a crosswalk or pedestrian signal. While it may seem fair for whoever arrived first to have right of way, this is not always safe as one vehicle may have a better view of the intersection or a higher speed, making it more dangerous for them to stop. Therefore, it is important for vehicles on the minor street to yield to those on the major street.
