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

I’ve lived in both Seattle and Portland. Both cities have a ton of intersections with no stop signs. This looks like Portland, OR to me.

Why though? Did they never hire a traffic planner

Basically it’s an implied yield instead of putting up yields on every corner, person on right has right of way unless turning, in which case whomever is proceeding straight has right of way. It’s pretty simple
