The RIGHT OF WAY according to LTO:

FIRST TIME VEHICLE RULE

At all intersections without “stop” or “yield” signs, slow down and prepare to stop. Yield to vehicles already in the intersection or about to enter it.

SAME TIME VEHICLE RULE

At all intersections without “stop” or “yield” signs (or with stops in all directions), yield to the vehicle on your right if it has reached the intersection of same time as your vehicle.

STOP SIGNS

Stop at any limit line or cross walk. Yield to all approaching vehicles on the thought street, go only when it is safe for you to cross. Approaching vehicles should slow down and allow you to get across safely.

LEFT TURN

Signal left turn and yield to approaching traffic until it is completely safe to finish the turn.

ROTONDA

Vehicles around the rotunda have the right-of –way over vehicles which are just about to enter.

When entering a highway from a driveway, yield the right-of-way to traffic on the highway. Never insist on taking the right-of-way if other drivers are not following the rules, let then have the right-of-way even if it belongs to you to prevent possible accidents, however, do not always insist on others going ahead of you, the slowing and stopping may delay the flow of traffic.

Rule no. 3 says, "If you're in doubt about who has the right of way, give it away.
