Hello. I need some help to settle a "Right of Way" argument. I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but after doing a search, I was unable to find a posting on the forum, or the specific section in the OHTA relating to it. Scenario: Two cars approach an intersection where the east and westbound directions are controlled by stop signs, and the north and southbound directions are through traffic. Car A, traveling east, is stopped at the stop sign waiting to make a left turn. Car B, traveling west, arrives at the opposite stop sign well after Car A, and is waiting to make a right turn (or, in a slight variant to the scenario, to proceed straight across). When the the north and southbound traffic is clear, who has the right of way. I was taught that Car A, turning left (or going straight through) must give right of way Car B. My wife states that Car A has right of way because it arrived at the intersection long before Car B. What Im looking for is the specific law in the OHTA that states who has right of way. Can anyone help! Kevin

Technically, yes.
