(A) When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection or junction at approximately the same time, except at arterial highways, stop streets or through streets, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
(B) The driver of a vehicle approaching but not having entered an intersection or junction shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle already within the intersection or junction, whether the vehicle in the junction is proceeding straight ahead or turning in either direction; provided, that this subsection shall not be interpreted as giving the right-of-way to a vehicle already in an intersection or junction when the vehicle is turning either to the right or left unless the driver of the vehicle has given a plainly visible signal of intention to turn as required by § 71.12.
(C) The driver of any vehicle upon a street within a business or residence district shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the street within any clearly marked crosswalk, or any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block, except at intersections where the movement of traffic is being regulated by traffic officers or traffic direction devices.
