1. Uncontrolled crossroad

An uncontrolled crossroad is an intersection where there are no traffic signs, road markings, or traffic lights regulating priority. This means that drivers must rely on the general right-of-way rules, most commonly the rule of priority to the right, to determine who may proceed first.

• Vehicles coming from the right have priority (in most countries).
• Extra attention is required due to the lack of guidance.
• Reduce speed when approaching and look in all directions (left, right, ahead).
• Larger or faster roads do not automatically have priority.
