   Okay, as from my view behind the wheel, I stop at a stop sign, and another   
   driver stops at the sign at my 3'o clock position, ergo, to the right of my   
   position.   
      
   No one here in CT at least makes the distinction between IE state roads 4-way   
   with a secondary, controlled solely by stop signs.  Whoever gets there first,   
   on the state or the secondary, goes first.    
      
   Looking down on a 4-way intersection, cross-shaped, drivers pull up to and   
   stop at the 6' and 3 o'clock positions simultaneously.  If it's too close to   
   call, the driver at 3 o'clock has ROW.   If either 6 o'clock or 3 o'clock   
   arrives a discernable amount    
   of time first(at least 2 sec for arguments sake), then it's pretty obvious who   
   has right of way.
