I saw this on an Instagram reel and was confused
What is the right order for the cars to move as per the right before left rule – assuming they all approach the junction at the same time

green red yellow
Yellow has to let red pass, because it’ on their right.
Red needs to let green pass, because it would be on their right when turning (they are a left-turner)
Green is turning right, thus has nobody to their right to let pass. They go first.
As it is right before left, green goes, as they don’t have anyone to their right.
green, red, yellow
Green, red an then yellow
Green has to yield to yellow, yellow has to yield to red and red has to yield to green. As green’s path doesn’t cross yellow’s, they can go first. Then it’s red and yellow will be last.
r/StVO
The car with no one at the right moves first, this continues until the intersection is clear.
Green first, when turning right they dont take right of way from yellow, because they wont ever cut their lane.
Then red because they have right of way before yellow.
Yellow last.
The right before left rule here applies only to the red and yellow vehicles.
Yellow has to yield to red since red is right of yellow.
Red has to yield to green as per the oncoming traffic rule.
Green may drive first since they want to turn right and doesn’t have to yield to anyone.
This is different from the classical “right before left trilemma” in which green wants to drive straight – so green would have to yield to yellow, yellow to red and red to green, resulting in a gridlock. However, the official rule is that in this case they have to agree among themselves who drives first.
Green, red, yellow
Forget the other comments
Its called a Pattsituation (Deadlock – where different rules block each other)
You look at the others and give signals. First thing you do: waive your priority, dont just drive. If you cleared it with eye contact and hand signals then take action. Sequentially solve the problem.
GRY. Any doubts?
First green, then red, then yellow.
1) Green
2) Red
3) Yellow
In this situation, at least in Germany, there is no clear precedence. In this situation you should give up your right if way and indicate to the driver who is waiting for you to go ahead.
This happens much less in practice than I e would think as is seldom a problem.
Easy, if you know how to drive
No stop signs , Yellow continues straight , green turns right , followed by red as yellow passes.
Was interessiert den Grünen, wo der von rechts kommende gelbe Wagen hin will. Er kann rechts abbiegen. Dann der rote, da rechts vor links, zum Schluss das gelbe Auto
Is this traffic solution really better than setting priorities on the road?
Don’t listen to those stating that right-to-left doesn’t apply if someone is turning right and the green car can turn right without having to pay attention to other cars on the intersection:
There is no general exception to right-before-left for right turners. Right-before-left applies to all cars arriving at an unmarked intersection – no matter where they want to go.
In this case, it practically makes sense for green to go first – but they would technically be breaking the right-before-left rule unless the yellow car forgoes their right of way. Green could fail their driver’s license exam if they turn right without yielding (if the examiner believes the situation wasn’t clear enough or the yellow car was affected negatively in any way by the turn).
