Why Give Way to Vehicles from the Right?

[DiDerek]

Because the driver's seat in China is located on the left side of the vehicle, collisions with vehicles coming from the right at an intersection are more likely to injure the driver on the left side of the right-side vehicle. Therefore, to ensure driver safety, vehicles must yield to those coming from the right at intersections. Below is relevant information: 1. Regulation: Article 52 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: "When motor vehicles pass through intersections without traffic signal control or traffic police command, they must comply with the following: at intersections with marked lanes, enter the appropriate lane according to the intended direction of travel; at intersections without traffic signs or markings, stop and observe before entering the intersection, giving way to vehicles coming from the right." 2. Additional Information: Roads, in the literal sense, are infrastructure for various non-rail vehicles and pedestrians. They are categorized by usage into highways, urban roads, rural roads, industrial and mining roads, forestry roads, test roads, competition roads, automotive test tracks, workshop passages, school roads, etc. Ancient China also had post roads.
