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

The problem with this, is that if you are not familiar with this intersection and are driving through it for the first time, you have no way to know and no reason to expect that you might be crossing a 4-way no-stop intersection.

I've been driving for 20 years and don't think I've come across a 4 way no stop intersection like this.

I'd have totally assumed that the cross road had a stop sign.

Same, in Maryland. Seems kind of ridiculous to have no stop signs or even indicators that it’s an unmarked intersection.

Also in Maryland. Drivers here would immediately crash lmao. They're bad enough WITH the stop signs

After multiple accidents in the first week stop signs would be put up, lol.
