Sec. 32. Right-of-way.

(a) 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 except as
otherwise provided in section 34 of this chapter. The driver of
any vehicle traveling at an unlawful speed shall forfeit any right-of-way
which he might otherwise have hereunder.

(b) The driver of a vehicle approaching but not having entered
an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle within such
intersection and turning therein to the left across the line of
travel of such first-mentioned vehicle; provided, that the driver of
the vehicle turning left has given a plainly visible signal of intention
to turn left as required in section 31 of this chapter.

(c) The driver of any vehicle upon a highway within a business
or residence district shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian
crossing such highway within any clearly marked crosswalk or any
regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the
lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a
block, except at intersections where the movement of traffic is
being regulated by traffic officers or traffic direction devices. (Id.,
