Default Re: Uncontrolled intersection, how do you tell if you are in one?

Well, since the thread is back, I will say that I live in the Chicago area and have frequently come across uncontrolled 4-way intersections. Most (if not all) of these have existed in residential communities.

I've always taken the "whoever is going straight has the right of way" take, and if two vehicles are coming at perpendicular paths, the person who gets there first has right of way. If both of these vehicles are approaching the intersection at the same time, usually one car will adjust their speed to either get through the intersection first, or allow the other vehicle to clear first.

As always, I'd rather not crash than say "I was right" so I always pay close attention in case the other people aren't.

So, the dude who so vehemently stated he's driven all over and not encountered an uncontrolled intersection must not get out in his own town much.
