Road_to_Solo_driving_handbook (2)

At intersections
When turning left or right at any
intersection (except a roundabout),
you must give way to any pedestrians
crossing the road you are turning into.
At children’s crossings
See Sharing the road with pedestrians
on page 131.
On the footpath
When entering the road from a driveway
or adjacent land, you must give way to
pedestrians on any footpath, path or
nature strip you cross to enter the road.
You must also give way to bicycles and
other vehicles on the footpath, path or
nature strip.
This also applies when leaving the road
to enter a driveway or adjacent land.
At Stop or Give Way signs or lines
not at intersections
You must give way not only to vehicles,
but also to any pedestrian at or near the
sign or line. This includes pedestrians
as well as bicycles crossing in front of
you on a shared or bicycle path.
When making a U-turn
You must give way to all pedestrians as
well as vehicles when making a U-turn.
At tram stops
Before passing a stopped tram, you
must stop at the rear of the tram, give
way to any pedestrians crossing
between the tram and the left side
of the road and not proceed while the
doors are open.
There are other requirements that
drivers must comply with when passing
stopped trams (see Sharing the road
with trams pages 138-140).
Remember pedestrians can run onto
the road at the last minute in order to
catch a tram, so take extra care to look
out for them.
Rules and responsibilities
In shared zones
In a shared zone shared by both
vehicles and pedestrians, you must give
way to pedestrians (see Speed limits on
page 79).
