Right of way question

    Apologies for the crude depiction. Does the car coming from A have right of way over the car coming from B or vice versa? A has yield signs (the red dots) and B doesn't. Both are one-way roads.

    The reason I ask is because I was about to blast someone out of it with the horn for not yielding to me earlier today, but I hesitated because I second-guessed myself.

    B has right of way, as long as A does have yield signs.

    A must yield to B.

    The yield signs are a bit of a giveaway as to right of way in fairness...

    But in situations like this its always best to observe the behavior of the other car, you can never fully rely on right of way when you have idiot drivers.

    Fair point. Though the driver tearing through without so much a glance in my direction didn't seem to pick up the hint unfortunately. :(

    The reason why I hesitated was because I thought a broken white line also meant yield.

    Another couple of scenarios I'm curious about:
    What if neither road had yield signs?
    What if both roads had yield signs?
    Does "yield to the right" apply to any of the three scenarios?

    If both/neither have yield signs then the "give way to traffic coming from your right" comes into play.
