At an intersection, the left should yield to the right. Below are the relevant details: Regulations: According to Article 52 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When motor vehicles pass through an intersection without traffic signal control or traffic police command, they shall comply with the following: if there are traffic signs or markings, yield to the party with the right of way; if there are no traffic signs or markings, stop and observe before entering the intersection, and yield to vehicles coming from the right. Additional Information: In cases where vehicles from both the left and right sides are changing lanes towards the middle simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right. This is for safety considerations, as a collision could impact the driver's side of the right-side vehicle. Therefore, the left-side vehicle must yield to the right-side vehicle. Similarly, at an intersection without traffic lights, a vehicle going straight must also yield to a vehicle coming straight from its right-hand direction. Otherwise, in the event of a collision, full responsibility will undoubtedly be assigned.
