What if courtesy and common sense trump right of way. Those scenerios happen all the time that lead to what we In Tejas call a mexican standoff. Blue truck may need to clear out of the way for the red truck to enter whether it has right of way or not. Instead of holding back and letting blue clear out Red proceeds with me first mentality and creates an even more dangerous cluster as he either clips blues hood or stops and blocks lanes cause it doesnt have a clear safe open spot to get in to the entrance.

- If you are about to enter or cross a highway from an alley, private road or highway, you must stop and yield the right-of-way to all other pedestrians and vehicles already traveling on the roadway or sidewalk you are entering or crossing;
40-6-70. Right of way rule for vehicles approaching or entering intersection.
(a) When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection from different highways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right of way to the vehicle on the right, provided that when a vehicle approaches or enters an intersection with no stop signs or other traffic-control devices from a highway that terminates at the intersection, the driver of that vehicle shall yield the right of way to the other vehicle, whether the latter vehicle be on such driver’s right or left.
40-6-73. Entering or crossing roadway.
The driver of a vehicle about to enter or cross a roadway from any place other than another roadway shall yield the right of way to all vehicles approaching on the roadway to be entered or crossed. -
