That isn’t the rule either, I guess parent made their point. The first person who stops goes next, right away only matters if their is ambiguity in who stopped first.

    To your first point, "the rule" is location-dependent. And to your second point, that was obviously (to me, at least) implied.

      I’ve never seen a four way stop in a region that had traffic on the right can always go regardless of stop time. But I’ve only seen four way stops in a few countries.

    right of way

      Or maybe they were going right away, taking the initiative and removing the ambiguity from the situation. =)

The point is, if many 4-way stops don’t have traffic at them, a stop/start becomes a perfunctory, dangerous habit.
