SB129 clarifies South Dakota's right-of-way rules at intersections by changing when the rule applies—it now says the rule takes effect "if" two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same time, rather than just "when" they do. The bill also maintains the existing requirement that the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right, and keeps the penalty as a Class 2 misdemeanor for violations.
