At a four-way intersection with no signs or signals, which vehicle has the right-of-way when two cars arrive at the same time from perpendicular directions?

At an uncontrolled four-way intersection, the vehicle on your right has the right-of-way. When two cars arrive at the same time from perpendicular directions, the right-hand vehicle goes first. Signals or who pressed a signal first don’t determine priority here, so you follow the right-hand rule and proceed accordingly. Pedestrians have priority only when they are in a crosswalk; with no pedestrians involved, the rule for vehicles applies as described.
