In the following extremely detailed image. Who has the right away. "disclaimer" . Obviously, I know how to manage this situation, but it occurs daily at this intersection in my hood. Me and DH disagree greatly as who has the actual R.O.W here.
Car 1 is turning right at stop sign, car 2 is parked on the road. Car 3 is coming towards car 1.
Does car 1 have to yield to car 3? What usually happens is car 1 begins their turn before car 3 moves over to go around car 2. Or does car 1 have the right of way because car 3 should make sure it is safe to go around .

Generally speaking car 3 has priority because it's traffic on a road that car 1 wants to enter. Car 1 has to wait at the stop sign until it's clear to enter the road. If they can see that car 3 is coming and is about to pass car 2 they should continue waiting. The right of way test is whether car A's behavior causes car B to have to alter its speed/behavior.

Yes. And that's how we handle it. But there have been close calls in both scenarios because sometimes car 3 will be well in to their pass ( and sometimes it actually 3 cars parked there), and the stop sign person doesn't even stop.. Or car # 3 moves over after 1 is already out..
Thank you for your very thoughtful reply.. There is no other way.
When I drove a Dodge Polara with red blinking lights on the roof I had the right of way, no matter which position I was in. And a siren to make sure the other guys knew it too.

Car 1 must yield the right-of-way.
* **Immediate Hazard:** Car 1 cannot enter or make a turn onto the main roadway until the main street is clear of oncoming traffic in both directions.
* **Lack of Priority:** Because Car 1 has not yet legally entered or established its position on the main road, it has no claim to the lane-even if Car 3 is temporarily occupying the opposing lane to navigate around parked Car 2.
* **Priority Over Stop Signs:** Car 3 has the right-of-way over side-street traffic controlled by a stop sign.
* **Duty of Reasonable Care:** Car 3 must ensure it is safe to maneuver around Car 2, but its primary duty in the oncoming lane applies to vehicles *already lawfully traveling* in that lane, not vehicles waiting at a stop sign.
