When approaching an intersection where a paved road and a dirt or unpaved road meet, which vehicle has the right of way if there are no signs regulating it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 57(1)(a)) establish that, in the absence of a sign regulating priority, the general rule is to yield to vehicles approaching from the right, but vehicles traveling on a paved road have the right of way over those coming from an unpaved one (a dirt track, a forest track…). That is why the vehicle on the paved road goes first, whichever side it comes from. Giving priority to the one on the wider roadway is a mistake: the width of the road does not confer right of way at an unmarked intersection. And giving it to the one on the unpaved road is exactly the opposite of what the rule says.
