Right of way in a parking lot?
Hypothetical - You are pulling into a parking lot, a car is coming on your right going to turn out of the parking lot. Who has the right of way?

Re: Right of way in a parking lot?
According to the NY DMV manual, the person on the street has the right-of-way over the person in the parking lot.
http://www.nysdmv.com/dmanual/chapter05-manual.htm
A vehicle entering a roadway from a driveway, alley, private road, or any other place that is not a roadway, must stop and yield the right-of-way to traffic on the roadway, and to pedestrians.
Example: You are driving out of a parking lot and turning right as you enter a street. A vehicle is approaching from your left. You must stop and wait for the vehicle to pass before turning onto the street. If you were turning left, you would have to yield to vehicles approaching from both directions. If a pedestrian were crossing the parking lot exit, you would have to wait for him or her to cross.

i agree- as a previous auto claims handler... entering from a parking lot always has to yield
