Giving Way when lines of traffic merge<br />
If you are on a road where <strong>the</strong> traffic is merging from<br />
two lines to one line, you must Give Way to a vehicle on<br />
your left or right if any part of that vehicle is ahead<br />
of your vehicle. This is called <strong>the</strong> Zip Merge (Example<br />
38 – page 74).<br />
The Zip Merge does not apply where lane lines are<br />
marked between <strong>the</strong> vehicles and one lane is ending<br />
(Example 39 – page 74) such as at <strong>the</strong> end of overtaking<br />
lanes and when entering <strong>the</strong> freeway.<br />
Giving Way when changing lanes<br />
If you are driving on a multi-lane road and want to move<br />
into ano<strong>the</strong>r lane of traffic, ei<strong>the</strong>r to your right or left,<br />
you must first check that it is safe to change lanes, give<br />
a change of direction signal clearly for long enough to<br />
warn o<strong>the</strong>r road users, and Give Way to traffic in <strong>the</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r lane (Examples 39 and 40 – page 74). This also<br />
applies where <strong>the</strong> road is wide enough for two lines<br />
of traffic but <strong>the</strong>re are no lanes marked on <strong>the</strong> road<br />
(Example 41 – page 74).<br />
Giving Way when leaving a parking space<br />
When leaving a parking space at <strong>the</strong> edge of <strong>the</strong> road<br />
or moving off from <strong>the</strong> kerb, you must Give Way to any<br />
vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles, travelling<br />
along <strong>the</strong> road. You must also give a change of<br />
direction signal for at least five seconds to<br />
warn o<strong>the</strong>r road users.<br />
