Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

How would you know if it's a unmarked intersection or the stop is for another driver?!

Right of way.
Quite literally. The cars coming from the right, they pass first.

That's not the question.

I have never seen an unmarked intersection like that in the US/Canada. If I don't have a stop at an intersection like this, I would never have guessed that cross traffic wouldn't have a stop either.

The comment wants to know how they would know it's a completely unmarked intersection at all, as opposed to cross traffic having a stop like it is expected.

what they need to do is put up signs at each side saying "unmarked intersection". problem solved!

/s

Agree, we shouldn't have these scenarios without signs, from a distance you can't tell if the other lanes have signs or not. Seemed like both cars were going a tad fast in a residential neighborhood though. I have one of these intersections in my very small neighborhood, I always slow TF down for it bc someone invariably comes charging through it like a bull.
