An ‘uncontrolled’ or ‘open’ intersection is an intersection where:

No law enforcement officer is directing traffic.
|
|
|
There is no speed limit.
|
|
|
No traffic lights or signs are used to indicate the right-of-way.

Uncontrolled intersections don't have traffic signs or signals informing drivers who has the right-of-way. Usually, the first vehicle to arrive is the first who may enter the intersection. If two or more vehicles arrive at the same time, then each driver should yield to the vehicle on their right.
