I understand your confusion as I learned to drive in Europe as well and in Germany the driver on your right always had the right of way. Easy to remember. Here in the United States, or at least to Maryland, it’s first come first serve. So you come to a complete stop and if you’re the first person in that intersection you go, if another driver got to the intersection first it’s their turn to go. Hope this helps.
Regarding the big stop painting on the road. I’ve seen that in a couple of places. One, at intersections where a school bus driver is required to stop before crossing the intersection-usually at train tracks. I’ve also seen them at intersections where for whatever reason drivers can’t seem to notice the red stop sign and there are a number of accidents so as a secondary measure the word stop is written in the road. Either way, when I see the word stop, I typically stop. And look both ways before continuing on.
The law in Maryland is the person on the right has the right of way. Nobody follows it though.
It was a four way stop dilemma
They all arrived the same time
I yielded to the man to the right of me, and he yielded right back to mine
The yield went around and around and around, till Pamela finally tried
Just then the man in the light blue sedan hit Pamela's passenger side
Great song.

What else would it mean, OP?
This was my answer in January and it is shocking that so many people, OP, included still don't understand.

Maybe I'm naive, but seeing this post and the replies is shocking. I didn't think I could lose more confidence in DC area drivers.
Please, just shred your driver's licenses and walk or take a bus. I don't think I'd even trust you biking around here.
