If the rider of a moped intends to join a paved road coming from an unpaved dirt track, is the rider required to yield to a vehicle approaching from the left?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

At an unmarked intersection, the general rule is to yield to vehicles approaching from the right, but the General Traffic Regulations (Article 57(1)(a)) make an exception for vehicles traveling on a paved road compared with those coming from an unpaved one: the former have the right of way. That is why a moped coming out of a dirt track must yield to vehicles traveling on the road, whether they come from its right or from its left. Saying that it yields only to those coming from the right applies the general rule without taking that exception into account. And making it conditional on the other vehicle also being a moped is wrong, because the right of way depends on the type of road and not on the type of vehicle.
