Derechos de paso al acercarse a una intersección

Cuando dos autos llegan a una intersección al mismo tiempo, el auto de la izquierda debe dejar pasar al de la derecha. Esto es para evitar accidentes y que todos puedan seguir su camino de forma segura.

Es como cuando dos amigos quieren entrar al mismo cuarto al mismo tiempo. El que está a la derecha debe dejar pasar al que está a la izquierda para que nadie se choque.
