Answer 2

Has two meanings - one, when two vehicles, vessels or aircraft are on a collision course, one usually has the right of way meaning the other must give way. These rules are determined by who is on whose right side or something like that.

The other meaning is that if you own property, the government or a utility may have a right of way on part of your property meaning they can put in a road or utility lines or a pipeline etc., whether you would prefer that or not.

Answer 3

Vehicles will often come into conflict with other vehicles because their intended courses of travel intersect, and thus interfere with each other's routes. The general principle that establishes who has the right to go first is called "right of way", or "priority". It establishes who has the right to use the conflicting part of the road and who has to wait until the other driver does so.

In most modern cities the traffic signal is used to establish the right of way on the busy roads. Its primary idea is to give each road a slice of time in which its traffic may use the intersection in an organized way. The intervals of time assigned for each road may be adjusted to take into account factors such as difference in volume of traffic.
