Give‑way and roundabouts

Give‑way rules and roundabouts are core for safe driving.

The right‑hand rule

If no signs or lights regulate priority, traffic from your right has priority.

Exceptions

• Signs (give way, stop, priority road)
• Operating traffic lights
• Police directing traffic

Signs that regulate give‑way

• Give‑way: slow, be prepared to stop
• Stop: full stop, check both ways, proceed only when safe
• Priority road: side roads must yield to you

Roundabouts

• Yield to traffic already in the roundabout
• Signal right before exiting
• Choose the correct lane; see Lane use and overtaking

Priority order

1. Police/controllers
2. Signals
3. Signs
4. Right‑hand rule

Practice

• Analyse scenarios systematically: signs → position → others → rule → who goes first
• Be defensive; don’t assume others yield
