Explanation

At junctions with no sign regulating right of way, we must give way to vehicles approaching from the right. We always apply this rule, except in the following cases: - Vehicles on a paved road have right of way over those coming from an unpaved road. - Vehicles running on rails, such as trams, have right of way over other road users. - Vehicles already on a roundabout have right of way over those wanting to enter it. - Vehicles on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía) have right of way over those wanting to join it.
