There are several types of intersections, which I will explain on this page
Intersections where the right-hand rule applies, meaning that priority is given to those coming from the right
These include intersections protected by traffic lights and intersections with only traffic signs indicating who has priority.
Intersections protected by a traffic light have priority for the driver whose traffic light is green
He is not required to stop for anyone except police, ambulance, and emergency vehicles when necessary, for example:
The ambulance is allowed to run a red light. It has crossed the red light opposite the driver
The traffic light is green. In this case, the driver must not proceed even if his traffic light is green
He waits for the ambulance, police, or emergency vehicle to pass, and then continues driving.
If the traffic signal is broken or flashing yellow
In this case, it depends on traffic signs.
Examples of intersections protected by traffic lights:
Intersections that do not have traffic signs, warning triangles, traffic lights, or police officers
The right-hand rule applies, and this is an example of these intersections
When you are driving on the street and see the following sign, this means that the right-hand rule applies to the next intersection
A question was asked in the Theory exam about this sign and what it means, and the answer was a three-way or four-way intersection.
When you come to a roundabout, you will see the following sign some distance from the roundabout, warning you that you are approaching the roundabout
This sign is placed at the roundabout and means that you are obligated to enter the roundabout
You will also find a warning triangle at some intersections and roundabouts as follows:
The warning triangle means that you must give way to other cars
Those traveling inside the roundabout or coming from both directions.
The method of behavior at roundabouts is as follows:
When you approach the roundabout and see cars inside the roundabout, slow down your speed and stop, give way to all the cars driving inside the roundabout, and when the roundabout is clear of traffic, continue walking calmly.
But be careful, as there may be pedestrian and bicycle crossings at the exits of the roundabout, so look closely at the sides of the exit and look at the dead corner until you are sure that there are no bicycles coming from the back or side or people running.
It should also be noted that most of the crossings on roundabouts can hardly be seen, either due to their poor condition, the presence of obstacles blocking the view, or due to the weather, severe winter, or darkness.
Therefore, be very careful, look carefully, and drive your car calmly when entering and exiting to and from the roundabout, and even when approaching a roundabout, prepare yourself and drive slowly and be prepared to stop if there is any need to do so.
Example of pedestrian crossings on roundabouts
You must plan your travel route and you must always place your car in the correct lane
So as not to cause disruption to traffic around you or cause an accident while changing lanes on the road
If you want to exit from the first or second exit at the roundabout, put your car in the right lane, and if you want to exit the roundabout at the third or fourth exit, put your car in the left before entering the roundabout.
You must not forget the following, whether during your normal driving or during your work driving test.
- Looking at the dead corner or the corner that you cannot see in the side mirror, whether right or left
- When you want to turn, whether to the right or left, or when you exit the roundabout, you must give a dimple signal at the appropriate time.
- You should look at the right dead corner while exiting the roundabout.
- When you turn into a junction to the right or left, pay close attention to pedestrian and bicycle crossings and during darkness.
- When you intend to turn, give a signal with the blinker well in advance to alert the driver behind you that you intend to turn.
