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 ...
An uncontrolled intersection in suburban Melbourne, Australia. 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]
Traffic control devices provide guidance and let us know the rules. But they can’t force drivers to obey. ... and to those coming from the right.” It works sort of like a four-way stop without ...
The general principle that establishes who has the right to go first is called "right of way" or "priority".

Signs including Stop, Yield, No Turns, No Trucks, No Parking, No Stopping, Minimum Speed, Right Turn Only, Do Not Enter, Weight Limit, and Speed Limit are considered regulatory signs. Some have special shapes, such as the octagon for the Stop sign, the triangle for the Yield sign, and the crossbuck for railroad crossings.
Uncontrolled intersections, without signs or signals (or sometimes with a warning sign). Priority (right-of-way) rules may vary by country: on a 4-way intersection traffic from the right often has priority; on a 3-way intersection either traffic from the right has priority again, or traffic on the continuing road. For traffic coming from the ...
