Example 25<br />

Driver B is<br />

turning right<br />

from <strong>the</strong><br />

continuing road<br />

and giving way<br />

on<br />

Example 26<br />

Driver B is<br />

turning right from<br />

<strong>the</strong> continuing<br />

road and<br />

giving way to<br />

an oncoming<br />

vehicle travelling<br />

through <strong>the</strong><br />

intersection on<br />

<strong>the</strong> continuing<br />

road<br />

Giving Way at Y-intersections<br />

At a Y-intersection, you should Give Way to <strong>the</strong> right unless <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

signs and road markings indicating o<strong>the</strong>rwise.<br />

Giving Way to oncoming traffic when turning right<br />

Before starting to turn right, you must Give Way to vehicles<br />

approaching from <strong>the</strong> opposite direction to you, including vehicles<br />

turning left (Examples 28 and 29 – page 72), but not if <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

turning left from a slip lane (Example 20 – page 69). If you are driving<br />

on a continuing road at a modified T-intersection and intend to turn<br />

into <strong>the</strong> terminating road, you are ‘turning right’ and you must Give<br />

Way (Example 27 – page 72) to oncoming traffic on <strong>the</strong> continuing<br />

road. You must also give a right turn signal.<br />

Giving way to pedestrians when turning<br />

If you are turning at an intersection, you must give way to any<br />

pedestrian who is crossing <strong>the</strong> road you are turning into (Examples<br />

30 and 31 – page 72). You must also Give Way to a pedestrian who<br />

is crossing a slip lane if you are turning left at <strong>the</strong> slip lane.<br />

Giving Way to <strong>the</strong> right at intersections without lights,<br />

signs or road markings<br />

You must Give Way to any vehicle or vehicles, including bicycles,<br />

approaching from <strong>the</strong> right at an intersection not controlled by signs<br />

or traffic signals and not a T-intersection. This is known as <strong>the</strong> ‘Give<br />

Way to <strong>the</strong> Right’ rule (Examples 32, 33, 34 and 35 – page 72, 73).<br />
