At an uncontrolled four-way stop, which driver has the right of way?

In an uncontrolled four-way stop, the general rule established by traffic laws is that the driver on the right has the right of way. This means that when two or more vehicles arrive at the intersection simultaneously, the driver who is on the right side of another vehicle has the priority to proceed through the intersection. This rule helps reduce confusion and potential accidents at intersections where there are no traffic signals or signs governing the flow of traffic.

The notion of the driver arriving first is also relevant in terms of traffic etiquette; however, the right of way is primarily determined by relative positions. Therefore, if two vehicles approach at the same time and one is to the right of the other, the vehicle on the right should proceed first. The size of the vehicle does not factor into this right-of-way determination, nor does the position of the left driver provide any privileges over others at the intersection.
