'RIGHT-OF-WAY
RULE CHANGED
.SAN FRANCISCO June XI —A now
interpretation of the law dealing
with the right-of-way at street inter
sections was recently handed down
by the California Appellate Court,
reversing a Judgment by the Superior
Court of San Franc.sco.
In the case of Vickerean vs. Stan
dard Automobile Sales Company, the
court held that the vehicle approach
ing from the right has the clearj
right of way, unless ihe one approach/
ing from the left Is nearer the point
where the ccllllalon would occur.
Where the intersection is square, that
is, where the two intersecting streets
are of the samo width, the vehicle
from the r’ght would have the right
of-way unless the other had passed
the center of tho intersection before
the .former entered the intersection,
or passed the curbstone
In other words the question of
right of way relates only to the
quarter of the intersection in which
tho paths of approaching vehicles
