Two vehicles of the same type meet at a narrowing and it is not clear which has right of way. Which of them has priority?
Right of way
Explanation
Priority in narrowings between vehicles of the same type
In a narrowing without priority signs, the rule aims to minimize the reversing maneuver. Therefore, priority is given to the vehicle that would have to reverse a **greater distance**; the other, whose reversing is **shorter**, must yield and facilitate the passage.
If both would have to reverse a **similar distance**, the following tiebreaker criterion is applied, granting priority to the vehicle of:
- **Greater width**
- **Greater length**
- **Greater Maximum Authorized Mass (MMA)**
The goal is to reduce complex maneuvers and risk in narrow places.
