A.R.S. 28-771
Vehicle at intersection; exception; entering freeway
A. When two vehicles enter or approach an intersection from different streets or 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. This subsection does not apply to vehicles approaching or entering an uncontrolled "T" intersection if the vehicle on the left is on a continuing street or highway and the vehicle on the right is on the terminating street or highway. The vehicle on the terminating street or highway shall yield to the vehicle on the continuing street or highway.
B. The right-of-way rule prescribed in subsection A of this section is modified at through highways and otherwise as stated in this article.
C. Intersecting road crossings between the main roadway of a freeway and acceleration lanes, ramps or any other approach roads are not intersections as defined in section 28-601, and subsection A of this section does not control questions of right-of-way at the crossings. A vehicle entering a freeway from an acceleration lane, a ramp or any other approach road shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle on the main roadway of the freeway entering the merging area at the same time.
Comment: Normally, when approaching an intersection, the driver on the right side will have right-of-way. However there is an exception for coming to a "T" shaped intersection and your road is going to terminate. The people on the othe road have right of way there. You always have to yield when merging onto a highway.

The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle that is approaching from the opposite direction and that is within the intersection or so close to the intersection as to constitute an immediate hazard.
Comment: In Arizona intersection, liability is nearly always attached to the driver making left turn, when an accident results.

Through highway; intersection entrance
A. The driver of a vehicle shall stop as required by section 28-855 at the entrance to a through highway and shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles that have entered the intersection from the through highway or that are approaching so closely on the through highway as to constitute an immediate hazard, but the driver having so yielded may proceed and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection on the through highway shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle that is proceeding into or across the through highway.
B. The driver of a vehicle shall stop in obedience to a stop sign as required by this chapter at an intersection where a stop sign is erected at one or more entrances to the intersection although not a part of a through highway, shall proceed cautiously and shall yield to vehicles that are not obliged to stop and that are within the intersection or are approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard, but may then proceed.
Comment: Stop signs always mean stop. This statute also contains more right of way for highways in Arizona.
