Message: <blockquote data-quote="SoonerP226" data-source="post: 4323239" data-attributes="member: 26737">I was thinking about the left turn driver coming from the north and the right turn driver coming from the south, but shifting the southbound lane to the west still works as a thought experiment with the left turn coming from the south and right turn coming from the north. A 4-way stop isn’t applicable here—this intersection has traffic lights (which were presumably working when the collision happened). The southbound driver making the right turn is still merging with westbound traffic and is required to yield the right of way to the westbound traffic. The northbound driver who made the left turn onto the westbound street becomes westbound traffic, so the southbound driver turning right should be yielding to him. I’m not sure where you’re getting far lanes from—those streets all look like they are two-lane roads with a center turn lane. The only exception is the southbound street north of the intersection, which has a dedicated right turn lane.</blockquote>
