Where you are a person, not just a number

Give way rules changing after 35 years.

 

If you're turning right, give way. All traffic turning right is to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and turning left. This applies at cross roads, T-intersections and driveways where both vehicles are facing each other with no signs or signals, or the same signs or signals.

 

 

 

Top of the T goes before me. At an uncontrolled T-intersection, all traffic from a terminating road (bottom of the T) will have to give way to all traffic on a continuing road (top of the T). This will bring it into line with T-intersections where there are Stop or Give Way signs on the terminating road.

 

 

 

 

If you are at an intersection controlled by a Stop sign, you still stop and give way to all other vehicles

 

 

 

 

 

If you are at an intersection controlled by a Give Way sign, you must give way to all other vehicles except those controlled by a Stop sign.
