Even if you don't have a stop sign, if you’re on a dirt road and need to turn onto a paved road, you’re gonna have to yield the right of way to traffic on the paved road.

Be extra careful and check if they have a stop sign on their side, which is unlikely if your road isn’t paved. When the coast is clear, you’re free to make your move.

There really aren't any exceptions to this rule - you should always yield right of way if you're on a dirt road and you're turning onto a paved road. As an Aceable driver, use your best judgment.
