If there is traffic in the cross street, you must stop and let them pass before you proceed.

It all depends on the what the other driver feels is more important at the time. Changing lanes with out signaling, going through a red left turn light after its already changed two cars ahead of you, talking on the cell phone instead of watching where you are going and my all time favorite is the one who makes a right hand turn from the left turn lane.......poor soul.... someone might move the intersection on them so they can't just go a few more blocks and then turn around and try that intersection again. The right of way is not practice anymore.With the Right Turn on Red law and pedestrian right of way (cross walk or not), no one can get to where they need to be in a timely fashion now. If you approach a intersection that has two or more stop signs, the first car that comes to a complete stop has the right of way, meaning they can continue on and the other cars have to wait till they have left the intersection. If it is to close for either driver to determine which car goes first, the car two the RIGHT ( as in right hand) has the right of way. The right of way law was a good idea when the roads where less congested but its not much good anymore when people believe they have their own law when they get a license. Be very aware when this situation happens at stop signs and turn on red intersections, no one can wait till the next green light anymore because their so in a hurry to catch up with traffic.....
Good Luck...

It originally comes from medieval England when a basic code of conduct was adhered to (though informally) and where many terms came from jousting/other pasttimes of nobility.
To 'yield' is to give in or give up to someone who has beaten you or has a more valid claim.
'Right of way' means that a person or vehicle is permitted to pass before others.
Therefore, to 'yield right of way', is to accept that somebody else has more of a right to pass through a space than you do.
In practical terms this means that, when driving, you have to allow all of the vehicles on the main road to pass before you can pull out.
Hope this helps.

Yielding means to Give up.
When you are yielding the right of way, you are giving up your right to go first. Just make sure you are obeying traffics signs, too.
