Priority to the left
[edit]This article is incomplete as it doesn't address whether "priority to the left" exists then in some places. For example, is it the rule in the UK? 136.159.160.8 (talk) 20:14, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think priority to the left exists in the U.K., but Thailand seems to have a priority-to-the-left rule. 90.231.234.93 (talk) 13:41, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Internet says that the UK has "priority to first" at uncontrolled crossways, but also that UK has ratified Vienna Convention. Which is it? What effect do Vienna rules have in a drive-on-left system? How did Aus and NZ (which adopted UK rules) get priority to the right if the UK doesn't? 1.159.83.148 (talk) 23:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
T-Intersections
[edit]- At T-Intersections, traffic on the terminating road must yield to all traffic at the termination point.
Since that is in a paragraph mostly about the US, can we assume that it is a US-specific rule? I'm quite sure that this is not a rule in several European countries. – gpvos (talk) 22:49, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- Read Three-way junction, and you will learn in which jurisdictions it is priority to the right or the T-junction rule at T-junctions. 90.231.234.93 (talk) 20:17, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Taking priority without looking to the left
[edit]Some French-speaking person wrote in some article that a driver oncoming from the right, who has right-of-way, may be held liable for a collision with a driver obliged to yield for vehicles from the right, who may be aquitted from penalty for failure to yield right-of-way, if this driver is able to prove that the driver with right-of-way has taken priority without looking to the left, or otherwise without being attentive to any vehicle approaching from the left. Is this really possible?
Perhaps it's possible in France or Belgium, but it seems to not be possible in for example Norway. In Norway, a driver is strictly obliged to give way for a vehicle oncoming from the right at intersections where priority to the right applies; what I have heard, vehicles drivers in for example Oslo are often not used to look to the left at junctions where a driver from the right has priority, as Norwegian drivers seem to have tendency to assume that it is "safe" to pass the junction without noticing if any vehicle approaches from the left 'cause a driver from the left is obliged to give one from the right priority. 90.231.234.93 (talk) 13:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
