6. UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS
Navigating intersections without traffic signals, stop signs or give way signs is all about knowing who has the right of way. Here we shed light on how to correctly approach such intersections: As a rule, at an uncontrolled intersection, always give way to the right, to oncoming vehicles (including bicycles) and pedestrians. Specifically: • If going straight ahead – give way to vehicles on your right; • If turning left – give way to vehicles to the right and pedestrians crossing the road you’re entering; • If turning left using a slip lane – give way to vehicles on your right and pedestrians crossing the slip lane; • If turning right – give way to vehicles on your right, any oncoming vehicles/bicycles who are going straight ahead or turning left, and any pedestrians crossing the road you’re entering.

Penalties Travelling straight ahead OR turning left in a slip lane – failing to give way to vehicles to the right or pedestrians = 3 demerit points and $200 fine. Turning left or right – failing to give way to vehicles to the right or pedestrians = 3 demerit points and $300 fine.
