When there are no traffic signs or traffic signals to indicate who should proceed first, you must drive with caution and use the basic right-of-way rules to determine who must yield the right-of-way. The right-of-way at an uncontrolled intersection is generally determined by road positioning, who came first and where each driver intends to go.

Don’t assume that another driver will yield before you see the driver slow down or otherwise indicate he/she is yielding.

The most common mistake is when a driver incorrectly makes a turn at an uncontrolled intersection without traffic signs such as a stop sign, expecting they have the right-of-way when in fact they don’t.

Right-of-way rules at uncontrolled intersections are designed to allow vehicles to move in a predictable way in all situations where their paths cross each other. You aren’t required to stop at an uncontrolled intersection in most states unless there’s other traffic or pedestrians nearby, but you should always slow down as a safety precaution.

T-intersections are where two roads meet and one of them ends. The general ‘right-of-way rules don’t apply to T-intersections. The vehicle traveling on the terminating road (the road that ends) must yield to all traffic and crossing pedestrians on the through road unless otherwise signed.

An uncontrolled intersection doesn’t have any traffic control systems to help determine the right-of-way, such as stop signs, yield signs, pavement markings, traffic lights, or other authorized persons directing traffic.
