Who has the right of way on a hill?

The correct answer is that the vehicle coming down has the right of way on a hill. This is based on the principle that vehicles going downhill may have an easier time maintaining control and momentum, whereas vehicles going uphill may struggle if required to stop and then re-accelerate. When two vehicles meet on a hill, the one descending has the advantage and should proceed, while the ascending vehicle is expected to yield.

This rule helps to prevent accidents that could occur if both vehicles attempted to pass each other at the same time, especially in narrow or steep sections where visibility might be limited. Maintaining this order of right of way ensures safer driving conditions on hills, where the potential for loss of control is greater.
