Ohio motor vehicle accident attorney, Scott Kuboff, discusses a driver’s duty to yield the right of way at an intersection. This duty is found in R.C. 4511.41.

Ohio has several statutes providing rules on the right of way. These statutes are designed to create clarity as to what vehicle may go and what vehicle must stop so as to not cause collisions. Right of way statutes make traffic flow predictable and our roadways safe. At intersections, R.C. 4511.41(A) provides “[w]hen two vehicles . . . approach or enter an intersection from different streets or highways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right..”

If you have sustained an injury in a motor vehicle collision, please contact Scott for a no cost, no obligation consultation and case evaluation.
