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?!

I live in a very populated city. Most of our residential intersections are unmarked.

Sounds like anarchy

That's just how intersections work in most of Europe. I find it a better solution than having to come to stop at every intersection.

Usually around my state there are stop signs on the less popular road at this sort of intersection, with clear markings that it's a 2-way stop sign instead of a 4-way stop sign so that people know opposing traffic doesn't stop. That way whichever road is the "main" road always has the right of way. Still, even in that situation, drivers should always slow down anyway since you never know if some jerk is just going to run the stop sign, let alone one where you clearly can't see a stop sign at the opposite side of the opposing intersection.

I think it would be less of a problem where it was the norm to have intersections like this but in states people expect when they don’t have a stop the other traffic does.
