On a narrow inclined road, which vehicle has the right-of-way?

When navigating a narrow inclined road, the vehicle descending the slope generally has the right-of-way. This rule is based on safety considerations and the difficulty of controlling a vehicle on an incline. A descending vehicle is often more challenging to stop because of the pull of gravity, making it more likely to lose control if it has to yield.

Allowing the descending vehicle to proceed helps prevent potential accidents due to the increasing speed that can occur when going downhill. In contrast, an ascending vehicle may be able to stop if necessary, and allowing the descending vehicle to go first can help maintain a smoother flow of traffic on the narrow road.

Other considerations such as the size of the vehicle or honking do not take precedence over the fundamental rule of right-of-way in this situation. The most critical aspect is maintaining safety for all vehicles involved on the incline.
