How should you behave at a four-way stop when two drivers arrive simultaneously?

• A. The vehicle on the left has the right-of-way
• B. The vehicle on the right has the right-of-way; proceed if safe
• C. Both must come to full stop and wait for the other
• D. The driver who signals first has right-of-way

Answer: (B)

When two cars reach a four-way stop at the same time, the driver on the right has the right-of-way. So you wait for the vehicle on your right to go first, then proceed once the path is clear and it’s safe. Signal your intention, make eye contact if possible, and watch for pedestrians or other road users as you move through the intersection. After the right-hand car passes, it’s your turn to go. This rule keeps the intersection orderly and predictable, reducing the chance of a collision.
