(a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, when two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same time and traffic at such intersection is not controlled by a traffic control signal or sign, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
(b) The driver of a vehicle approaching but not having entered an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle already within such intersection, whether the vehicle in the intersection is proceeding straight ahead or turning in either direction. This subsection shall not be interpreted as giving the right-of-way to a vehicle already in an intersection when such vehicle is turning either to the right or left, unless the driver has given a plainly visible signal of intention to turn as required in section 19-47.
(c) The driver of any vehicle approaching but not having entered a traffic circle shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle already within such traffic circle.
(d) Violation of this section shall be an infraction and shall be punishable as provided in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-4.
