Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision regarding a traffic accident where the plaintiff failed to yield. The court found that no specific signage altered the general rule granting priority to vehicles approaching from the right. Consequently, the defendant's claim of superior traffic volume was rejected as irrelevant to the statutory priority rule.

SUMÁRIO

Inexistindo sinalização própria que altera a regra geral de prioridade de passagem - a quem se apresente pela direita - esta subsiste independentemente do maior ou menor tráfego da via que se cruzar.
