It's rarely a question. The Yield to Right is generally only a question where
all directions have a STOP sign. If there is an intersection and you face neither a YIELD or STOP sign you needn't concern yourself with right of way (unless, of course, there is an 80,000# 18-wheeler continuing at 60MPH into your intended path...in which case the RIGHT of way no longer takes precedence).
Tangent point. I looove how in Europe YIELD is much more common than STOP. In the USA almost all 90° intersections have a STOP sign for the lesser road. 90% of the time there is no practical need to come to a complete stop.
Reading the post again I see some of the issue

In the USA, if there are no signs, YOU have the right of way. Other than in extreme (and I mean, EXTREME) backwoods boondocks wilderness, every intersection will have signs indicating who has right of way, STOP/YIELD if you don't have it, nothing if you do have it.
