Sec. 18-62. Right of way generally.[216]

Except as provided in section 18-64, when two vehicles
approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same
time the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right
of way to the vehicle on the right unless a "yield-right-of-way"
sign is posted. Where any such sign is posted, the
driver of the vehicle approaching or entering such intersection
on the street on which such sign is posted shall yield the
right of way to the driver of a vehicle approaching or entering
such intersection from either direction. At traffic circles,
vehicles already in the circle shall have the right of way over
vehicles approaching and entering the circle. The driver of
any vehicle traveling at an unlawful speed shall forfeit any
right of way which he might otherwise have hereunder.
