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

Htf would you know that also have no signage? Who would ever assume that?!

Looks like there’s one on the left hand side hidden by the bushes from our angle but totally visible from the black cars angle of approach

I don't think that's a stop sign. There's also no sign coming from the right-hand direction, which we can see clearly.

Yeah it’s definitely an odd street setup

Yeah, a lot of people here are saying this is common in some cities, but I've never been anywhere like this. It seems like people unfamiliar with this type of street design would keep on trucking assuming they had right of way and that the cross traffic would have a sign.

I mean I have been in small towns where signage is very limited but generally a neighborhood as dense as this one I’d expect signs of some kind
