The priorité à droite rule, commonly misunderstood, dictates that in France, a vehicle approaching an intersection must yield to traffic coming from the right unless there is specific signage or road markings indicating otherwise. According to the French highway code's Article R415-5, this rule applies at all times except when directed otherwise. This principle is most relevant in rural areas, while urban settings typically feature clear signage that governs right-of-way. Crucially, drivers must remain vigilant about road signs and markings to navigate intersections correctly.
The priorité à droite rule—priority from the right—means a driver approaching an intersection must yield to vehicles coming from their right unless otherwise indicated.
Article R415-5 of the French highway code requires drivers from the left to yield to those from the right at intersections, unless signaled otherwise.
In practical terms, priorité a droite essentially applies in rural areas; urban settings usually have their own traffic signs and regulations.
When approaching an intersection, watch for specific signage or road markings. If none exist, the right-of-way rule applies.
