Give Way Rules

Because Australia drives on the left, give-way rules follow that pattern. Knowing them prevents crashes at intersections.

Uncontrolled intersections

At a cross intersection with no signs or lights, give way to any vehicle approaching from your right. When turning right, give way to oncoming vehicles going straight or turning left. At a T-intersection the driver on the terminating road gives way to traffic on the continuing road.

Roundabouts

Slow down on approach and give way to any vehicle already in the roundabout. Choose the correct lane before entering, signal right if turning right, and signal left as you leave where practical.

Pedestrians

When you turn at an intersection you must give way to pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into. Give way to pedestrians on marked crossings and take extra care near schools and shopping areas.
