Example 27 shows a driver wishing to enter<br />

a terminating road from a continuing road<br />

at a modified T-intersection. Even if <strong>the</strong> road<br />

is straight ahead, you must signal and Give<br />

Way to all o<strong>the</strong>r road users on <strong>the</strong> continuing<br />

road. Vehicle A is on <strong>the</strong> continuing road at all<br />

times. Vehicle B is leaving <strong>the</strong> continuing road<br />

to enter <strong>the</strong> terminating road. Vehicle B must<br />

Give Way to vehicle A because it is turning<br />

across <strong>the</strong> path of an oncoming vehicle.<br />

Giving Way when doing a U-turn<br />

You must Give Way to all vehicles and pedestrians<br />

when doing a U-turn and a 3-point turn.<br />

><br />

Giving Way when turning or doing a<br />

U-turn at a break in a median strip<br />

You must Give Way to any vehicles on <strong>the</strong> roadway<br />

of a divided road you are entering through a break<br />

in a median strip (Example 36 – page 73). The<br />

median strip might be a narrow grassed strip or<br />

wide enough to require a short ‘crossover’ road<br />

(Example 37 – page 73).<br />

You must also Give Way to any oncoming vehicle<br />

already in <strong>the</strong> break in <strong>the</strong> median strip that is<br />

waiting to turn.<br />
