Section 13.02.120. Vehicle approaching or entering intersection or roundabout.

	(a)  When two vehicles enter or approach an intersection which is not controlled by an official traffic-control device, from different roadways at or approximately at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right except as otherwise provided in this section.  
	(b)  A driver having stopped and yielded may proceed when a safe interval occurs and when other traffic in or near the intersection does not constitute an immediate hazard and while exercising caution, irrespective of the "vehicle on the right" rule stated in (a) of this section. When so proceeding, other vehicles approaching or at the intersection must yield.  
	(c)  The right-of-way rules in (a) and (b) of this section do not apply if the approach or entrance of a vehicle into an intersection is otherwise covered by traffic regulations.  
	(d)  A driver entering a roundabout must yield to a vehicle on the circulating roadway in the roundabout.  
	(e)  A vehicle in front of another vehicle in a roundabout has the right-of-way over following vehicles.  
	(f)  A driver may not change lanes in the roundabout or exit the roundabout until the movement can be made safely.  
	(g)  In this section, "in front of another vehicle in a roundabout" means the front bumper of a vehicle is ahead of the front bumper of another vehicle.
