Two vehicles simultaneously--or very close enough to simultaneously--arrive and stop (*), then the one on the right should proceed. (*) Assumes an actual complete stop to 0 mph and then about a 1 second minimum pause to look before proceeding--not slowing to almost a stop then coasting through the stop sign. |
