At an intersection lacking specific signage, what is the general rule regarding right of way?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish as a fundamental rule that, in the absence of signage regulating priority (such as a Stop sign, Yield sign, or traffic lights), the driver is obliged to yield to vehicles approaching from their right.  It is important to remember that this rule has exceptions (roundabouts, paved roads vs. dirt tracks, or rail vehicles), but when asked about the 'general rule', the correct answer is always to the right. Yielding to the left or to faster vehicles are not general priority rules.
