As a non-USAian I’m a little confused. Do you guys have intersections where BOTH roads get a stop sign? I’ve only ever seen intersections where one road is the default right of way, and the intersecting road has to stop. Both roads stopping seems really confusing.
At a four way stop, the vehicle that stops first has right of way. If all vehicles stop at the same time. It’s the one going straight through the intersection. Then the one that is the rightmost.
We have one of these in Wellington NZ. It’s the final testing point on your practical driver’s licence test and it’s only about 20 metres from the testing station. There’s no right answer about who gives way but is designed to see how safely you manage a strange situation. However, they are public roads and non-testees have to negotiate it as well. Surprisingly few problems, though.
@HereIAm Oh, yes, and that’s what they’re mainly looking for you knowing but, if 4 cars arrive at each stop sign simultaneously, no single one of them has absolute right of way. It’s a judgement and patience test.

Do you not have a right-hand rule kind of thing, where people on your right get priority if the crossing roads are equal?
