T-junctions. Help and tips from World Driving










  Look out for signs and markings that may warn you of a junction approaching. Remember to use your MSM routine (mirror, signal, maneuver) as you approach.
There are two types of t-junctions, open (you can see clearly who is on the main road and you might not have to stop) and closed junctions (buildings or obstructions at the end of the road blocking your view meaning that you will have to stop). Look out for markings at the end of the road. There will be either a solid white stop line or a give-way line.

Turning left.
Check mirrors (especially looking out for cyclists and pedestrians), position to the left, signal, slow down and stop. Don't press the clutch too early (coasting). Observe properly, go when safe and keep left.











sponsors:

  Turning right.
Check mirrors (looking out for anyone overtaking, especially motor cycles), signal, position right just left of the centre lines (if you're in a one-way street move to the far right), slow down and stop, looking out for pedestrians too.

Observe both ways. Be careful, turning right is more dangerous than turning left as you are crossing the road to the other side. Never rely on other drivers signals as they dont always signal as they should.

Take the first safe chance to proceed, steering once you have reached the centre of the road without cutting across the wrong side (unless parked cars force you to). Check mirrors again and drive on.

NEVER, force another road user to stop, swerve or slow down for you, unless they allow you to do so.
