Volevo un chiarimento su uno scenario di confusione che ho incontrato di recente. Nella foto sono in posizione andando in direzione nella freccia rossa. Quando sono all’incrocio, se c’è un veicolo nella posizione B che segnala di andare a destra (direzione nella freccia blu), chi dovrebbe avere la priorità? Devo cedere e dare priorità al veicolo nella posizione B? Dipende da "dare la precedenza" Segno situato nella posizione B? (In questo caso non esiste un segnale di permanenza nella posizione B. e quella strada è una strada a senso unico.)
Apprezzerei qualsiasi risposta chiara questa confusione.

There seems not to be a yield sign on the street to the right so you have to yield.
Yes, you give way. And if there were a triangle or stop sign, you had the right of way.
If there is no triangle or stop sign then cars from the right have the right of way.
There is also sign B1 on some roads which means you have the right of way, but even in that case the intersections will still have triangles or stop signs.
Car right of you has the right of way unless otherwise proven
I haven’t driven in years but generally in Europe you have to give way to traffic coming from the right if there are otherwise no traffic signs or other indicators that would suggest the opposite. I would yield here to B if I’m A.
My question is if B was turning left, would they still have the right of way?
On this particular road there are three intersections including this one where you need to yield and two that are one-way away so nobody can come from there after this point and before the next traffic lights.
This is a very weird way that is works in Finland. From my understanding, if there is a right of way triangle in front of driver B, then he must let driver A go first.
If there is no Triangle, then A has to yield to B.
Which means that even though the route driver A is driving is driving on the straight road, they must slow down to check if there is a triangle or a car to see if he has the right of way or not.
It seems like the most ridiculous setup to have, but by my Finnish partners logic, it means all have to slow down at junctions, so it is safer? Who knows?
so practically, when driving, you have to watch to your right, whether there is a yield sign on the street to the right to know if you have to give way?
I mean, it’s often not super visible – it’s tough to figure out a sign when you look at it from the side.
The B guy goes first. Because theres no triangle on there right. If this is from Oulu city, which I think it is, you have to stop in all junctions to give way when driving through this avenue.
You should have known all this before driving.
This pic is from Rautatienkatu in Oulu. You have to yield from all traffic coming from all left side streets in that strecth to that direction
Oulu mentioned let’s meet in PaskaKaupunni
Just like everyone else said, you need to yield [https://www.google.com/maps/@65.0122487,25.4842956,3a,75y,209.85h,87.17t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sqM1DhurkX93Q5blyukpwNw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D2.8280750641315677%26panoid%3DqM1DhurkX93Q5blyukpwNw%26yaw%3D209.85131430706966!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYzMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D](https://www.google.com/maps/@65.0122487,25.4842956,3a,75y,209.85h,87.17t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sqM1DhurkX93Q5blyukpwNw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D2.8280750641315677%26panoid%3DqM1DhurkX93Q5blyukpwNw%26yaw%3D209.85131430706966!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYzMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)
But I agree, sometimes it’s really difficult to see if the other guy has the triangle.
A needs to stop and let B go first, because there is no triangle or stop sign for the traffic coming from your right. It is a common traffic rule internationally, not just a finnish thing.
A sensible thing to do is to drive slower to avoid risk of collision. Good luck, go back to reading the traffic rules again and again…
This is the junction: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/fg9p2PvLUGYYYtht6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/fg9p2PvLUGYYYtht6)
Obviously you always gotta yield to cars coming from the right if they don’t have any yield signs. Why would this intersection be any different?
This is in Oulu right by the train station? I was once biking on that sidewalk, crossing that street and a dude almost hit me coming out of B street because he didn’t slow down to stop and then he yelled at me saying he had the right of way. And I yelled back that a car is always required to yield to a bike or pedestrian in the sidewalk. And he kept yelling and nothing got solved. But damn, I’m not the only one with issues with this intersection apparently.
It seems like this is a equal intersection very common in finland and this clearly isnt a busy street but usually people do slow down and take a careful look at both directions before going through
One of my biggest gripe with Finnish traffic rules is the damn triangle yielding. It’s sometimes barely visible so you have to search if people merging have one instead of paying attention to other things on the road. If you’re not familiar with the area there is sometimes some very surprising right of way for people merging.
In Canada (at least in my part of the country) we mostly have stop signs instead of yielding but most importantly we quite often have a tiny diagram that shows who has a stop sign on the upcoming intersection so you don’t have to check or guess. Like this:

Barring my annoyance with triangles and how unsafe I think they are, I strongly believe Finnish drivers are among the best in the world. Respectful of rules for the most part and very skilled. I see a lot more stupid shit in Canada. Also your roads are better.
Where did you get your driver’s license?
Assuming you were moving on a bike, you should use the designated bike lane on the left. If you, for some reason, are biking in the middle of the street, you still need to yield to traffic from the right like everyone else.
Another example why it should be crucial to teach basic traffic rules also to people who use bicycles.
Yes, this pic is from Rautatienkatu and Kajaaninkatu junction near railway station in Oulu and vehicle B is entitled to go first as it is turning right. If B was turning left and there would be another vehicle C coming from opposite direction to A, A would have the priority here then.
B has priority right of way. Seems that there is no “yield” (upside down triangle) sign on their end.
One of the first things you learn in the driving school, bloody hell.
How did you manage to get a drivers license if you don’t know something as basic as this? Please redo it before you hurt somebody. Glad you asked tho.
There are no yield signs in any of the intersections on this street. Those coming from right have the right of way
A lot of people are saying it’s really obvious but coming from the UK I assumed the rules would be mostly the same as in the UK, only with driving on the other side of the road taken into account, yielding to traffic which is turning into a straight lane seems absurd.
Of course you should always check local laws when driving in a new country but this is definitely a weird rule and even when you know the rule there are some roads where it isn’t very clear. So you assume you yield and then the car on the right just sits there as confused as you are.
I’ve also noticed, especially on this exact road, it leads to a lot of people speeding dangerously out of the junction, even if a car is already half way across.
There is no yield sign for cars coming from B, so A yields. Same goes for every other junction on this specific road.

This is one of those places in Finland where the logic was somewhere forgotten. Without even looking at any signs, you would assume that you have permission because you are on the main road, and all the other roads are just joining you. But some genius decided otherwise, which not only blocks the fluency of the traffic, but also causes rear ending accidents.
Thanks everyone for the responses. Much appreciated. It’s clear that the vehicles in the right has the right of way.
But isn’t it confusing that I have to look for the road sign on the other road to know whether I have to yield or not.
What do you usually do in these types of junctions? Do you slow down at every junction and check for the give way sign on the other road?
Why are you driving and how the hell are you allowed to if you don’t know these things? Yielding to the right might actually be the single most important rule to follow while driving. Do you even have a license?
