At an intersection with a four-way stop, who has the right-of-way?

  1. The driver who arrives first

  2. The driver on the left

  3. The driver on the right

  4. The largest vehicle

The correct answer is: The driver on the right

At a four-way stop intersection, the right-of-way is typically given to the driver who arrives at the intersection first. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the general rule of thumb is that the driver on the right has the right-of-way over the driver on the left. This practice ensures a clear, reasonable way to determine which vehicle should proceed when there is ambiguity about the order of arrival. By understanding this order, drivers can navigate intersections more safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of accidents. The choice indicating that the largest vehicle has the right-of-way does not apply in this situation. Vehicle size does not determine right-of-way in situations governed by the four-way stop rules; rather, it focuses on the sequence of arrival.
