Who goes first?
Priority road: a car approaches from your right
You are on a priority road. A yellow car approaches from your right. Who goes first?

The starting situation
You approach from the south and want to go straight. Your road has sign 306, the yellow diamond indicating a priority road. The yellow car approaches from the east, wants to go straight and faces sign 205: give way. No police directions or lights establish a different order. This simplified scene has no other road users.
The answer
You go first once your path is clear. The yellow car must give way to traffic on your priority road.

How to explain the order
- Read the rule for your approach first. Sign 306 identifies your priority road.
- Check the other approach. The yellow car faces sign 205 and must give way to traffic on your road.
- Those signs determine this priority relationship. The yellow car’s position on your right does not reverse the order in this example.
What changes the answer?
Remove the priority signs from every approach, keeping ordinary roads and no other controlling rule, and priority to the right becomes relevant again. The car from your right would then go first.
A reasoning trap
A priority-road sign does not give unconditional priority over everyone. Turning movements and additional road users can create further duties that must be assessed separately.
