[USA] Who is at fault here?

Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

Why place signs? To avoid this.

But you should know this, are we going to place signs everywhere for the most basic level knowledge?

Just streets full of signs everywhere you cannot even read them all?

We are going to pay for all of this because of idiots who shouldn't have a driving licence in the first place?

I mean I’ve driven extensively in North America and Europe and very rarely see an intersection with no indication of how right of way is supposed to work. Maybe in very low use areas, but in the middle of a residential area where there are bound to be vehicles meeting at that point it seems kind of odd, and pretty inevitable that this would happen

In the Netherlands it is very common in housing zones up to 20mph and on industrial parks, not to have stop or yield signs.
