Clause 16.12

At an intersection of roads of equal importance, the driver of a non-rail vehicle must yield to vehicles approaching from the right. This rule also applies to tram drivers.

Brief application: since the intersection is uncontrolled and of equal importance (there are no control signals and/or priority signs), the “right-hand rule” applies, so you must yield to the vehicle approaching from the right (the red car).

Clause 1.10 (term “Yield (do not create an obstruction)”)

Yield (do not create an obstruction) — a requirement for a road user not to continue or resume movement, or perform any maneuver, if this may force other road users who have the right of way to change their direction or speed.

Brief application: “yield” means not forcing the driver of the red car to brake or change trajectory because of your actions.

Clause 1.10 (term “Intersection”)

Intersection — a place where roads cross, join, or branch at the same level, the boundary of which is the imaginary lines between the start of the rounding of the edges of the carriageways of each road.

Brief application: the situation in the image is indeed an intersection, so the procedure for passing is determined by the rules for passing intersections (section 16).

Clause 1.10 (term “Uncontrolled intersection”)

Uncontrolled intersection — an intersection where the order of passage is determined by priority road signs, and in their absence — by these Rules.

Brief application: in the absence of a traffic light/controller and priority signs, the general rule of clause 16.12 applies.

Clause 1.10 (term “Roads of equal importance”)

Roads of equal importance — roads on which no priority signs are installed.

Brief application: if there are no priority signs at the intersection, the roads are considered of equal importance and the “right-hand rule” applies (clause 16.12).

That is, the correct answer is “Yield to the red car,” given that according to the definition of the Traffic Rules at an uncontrolled intersection of roads of equal importance, you are required to yield to the vehicle approaching from the right (the “right-hand rule,” clause 16.12).

When passing this intersection, first determine whether it is regulated and whether priority signs are installed. According to the conditions of the question, there are no such means of traffic organization, so the intersection should be regarded as an unregulated intersection of roads of equal importance.

Next, we apply the general rule for passing unregulated intersections of equal roads, as defined in paragraph 16.12 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine: the driver of a non-rail vehicle must yield to vehicles approaching from the right.

In this situation, the red car is approaching you from the right side, so it has the right of way. The fact that the road is multi-lane or has a median strip does not change the principle of determining priority at an unregulated intersection of equal roads. Likewise, the fact that the red car's trajectory may cross the carriageway in two stages does not affect the rule: the “obstacle on the right” rule still determines priority at the moment of entering the intersection.

Therefore, when approaching the intersection, you must reduce your speed and be prepared to stop to yield to the vehicle approaching from the right, that is, the red car.

Thus, the correct answer is "Yield to the red car," because at an unregulated intersection of roads of equal importance, according to paragraph 16.12 of the Traffic Rules, you must yield to the vehicle approaching from the right.
