I think the OP is confused because a lot of people don't seem to understand the concepts of "right of way" and "yield." I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten hit because someone merging onto a road didn't yield and forced me to either speed way the hell up or slow way down. That really irritates me.

the right-turner has the right of way, but as the right turner, I would probably let the u-turner take it anyway (if nobody impatient is behind me) to be nice to the people waiting behind the u-turner to turn left. (and out of fear that the u-turner would turn regardless of what I did.)

Because the car doing the U-turn has no way of knowing if Car A is turning right on red or if he has an arrow. If Car A was turning right on red, then Car B would have the right of way.

Right turn with arrow has right of way.
U-turn and left turns basically wait for everyone.

Depends on the traffic laws. Some states only allow u-turns if a sign permits it. In VA you can make a u-turn unless a sign states otherwise.

And does the law indicate that U turn drivers ever have the right of way? I think it's the opposite. U turn drivers never have the right of way (except against a driver at a red light).

The last line is what I was thinking with my first post @ 10:10. U-turns may be legal (unless state laws states otherwise) but u-turn aren't the norm, you can't signal a u-turn, so the u-turn'er should yeild.

I know an intersection like this (355 and Gude), and all of the drivers who U-turn and then honk at the people turning right are confused by it. They have a green left turn arrow, and U-turns are allowed. So technically, both cars have the green light, but I still think that the right turn has right of way, although it is nice to pause and give the U-turner a bit of room to finish their turn.

Right turn has right of way.

A dedicated green arrow indicates you have the right of way (except if a pedestrian is illegally crossing the road; then you must yield to said idiot).

(and I should mention that unless Car B knows the intersection well, he would have no idea that Car A has a green arrow and would think he is turning right on red).

I think anytime you are making a U-turn you are taking your life in your hands. Since there is no way to indicate you are taking a u-turn (turn signal is the only option), I'd say you have to yield to other traffic (and piss off the people behind you).

It is not illegal to make a U turn at this intersection.

Since you all seem to be so good at this, I've got one that I've been wondering about:

Car A is making a right turn. The light for those going straight is red, but the right turn lane has a green arrow. Car B is perpendicular to Car A and has a green arrow to turn left, but is making a U-turn. Which car has the right of way?
