DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ON A MINOR ROAD

Needn’t give way to an oncoming vehicle turning right, unless it is on a major road.

 

You needn’t give way to an oncoming vehicle turning right at the intersection if a “Stop” or “Give Way” sign or line also applies to the oncoming vehicle; and hardly ever will you meet an intersection where it does not. The oncoming vehicle is on the same minor road as you, and as a vehicle turning right has less priority than cars going straight or turning left, it gives way to you.

 

Yet, a road minor for you may be major for oncoming traffic; you can notice this by the absence of “Stop” or “Give Way” sign or line across the road for the oncoming drivers. This situation is typical for curved T-intersections, described in the IRREGULAR T-INTERSECTIONS section.

 

Compare the below two situations:

Photo: Driving on a minor road straight ahead through a curved T-intersection – Give way to an oncoming car turning right on the major road
