So why would that right of way be revoked just because the cars had to wait for traffic on McIvor to clear.
The right of way does get revoked. That is exactly what happens. The key part is that if the other person hasnt' come to a complete stop yet - the car going straight - and as long as you are moving before they stop, then the car turning left maintains its right of way.

If the car turning left has yet to proceed when the guy going straight comes to a complete stop then the car turning left gives up its right of way because it did not proceed in time.
