At the Stop Sign, Who Has the Right of Way?

You ever notice how there's always that one 'polite' person at the four way stop that wants to wreck the entire flow of traffic by letting others go ahead? Even if it's their turn...

It's a real common problem. And while it may seem polite, it only leads to awkward confusion and hesitant encounters.

Oklahoma law states that vehicles shall proceed from a stop sign in the order they arrived. So if you're #2 getting to that complete stop, you should be #2 leaving... Not the 'nice dude' letting the pretty girl in car #3 go first. Nobody ever thought "That was nice, I'd like to date that person."

All the same, state law also settles instances where vehicles arrive in a tie. The vehicle to your right, in a clock-wise roundabout, has the right of way.
