Priority or right of way is the decision criterion used in foil and sabre fencing to determine which fencer receives the touch, or point, when both fencers land a hit within the same short time-frame (less than 1 second). After this window, if one fencer had already landed a hit, the electrical scoring apparatus would "lock-out," or fail to ...
The system is widely used in countries with right-hand traffic, including most European countries. What varies, however, is the prevalence of uncontrolled intersections. In some countries, the right of way at virtually all but the most minor road junctions is controlled by the display of priority vs. stop / yield signs or by traffic lights, while in others (such as France) priority-to-the ...
The most common way of delivering an attack in fencing is the lunge, where the fencer reaches out with their front foot and straightens their back leg.

At uncontrolled 4-way intersections, the common rules are: . give way to traffic approaching from the passenger's side (i.e. from the right in countries that drive on the right-hand side, a rule known as priority to the right, and vice versa) [citation needed]

Many federal departments have also adopted their own traffic code for enforcement on their respective ...
With three or more lanes in each direction, both shoulders are to be at least 10 feet (3.0 m) wide. In mountainous terrain, a left shoulder of 4 feet (1.2 m) and a right shoulder of 8 feet (2.4 m) are acceptable, except where there are at least four lanes in each direction, in which case both shoulders are to be at least 8 feet (2.4 m) wide.
