Study Notes

Junction Sign

The junction sign (priority-to-the-right rule sign) is usually displayed at intersections.
The priority-to-the-right rule does not apply when reversing or exiting a parking space.

The Turning Rule

Drivers turning at a junction must not obstruct oncoming traffic or traffic on the carriageway they are joining.
The turning rule applies even if the turning driver has a green light.
The turning rule also includes giving way to pedestrians and cyclists who are crossing the carriageway the driver is turning into, even if there is no pedestrian crossing.

The Exit Rule

Drivers exiting a car park, property, petrol station, pedestrian street, home zone, bicycle street, hard shoulder, off-road area, or footpath must give way to traffic entering the road.
The priority-to-the-right rule is not applicable in parking areas, priority roads, roads with functioning traffic signals, roundabouts, areas with Give way or Obligation to stop signs, acceleration lanes, when reversing, or when entering a road from a car park.

Priority-to-the-right Rule Examples

When two vehicles are approaching an intersection, the vehicle on the right has priority, unless otherwise indicated.
The priority-to-the-right rule applies even if one vehicle is turning onto the other vehicle's road or the other vehicle's road is larger.
The roads do not have to intersect at a 90-degree angle for the priority-to-the-right rule to apply.
The priority-to-the-right rule applies in open areas.

Drivers should stop or park as far away from the middle of the road as possible.
If parking on the side of a road in the dark, turn on parking lights so the car is visible.

Pedestrians Crossing Against Red Light

While it is not prohibited, it is inappropriate for pedestrians to cross against a red light.
You should always check visibility prior to overtaking, especially during situations with poor visibility.

Drivers must always give way to trains, even if the lights are not flashing red.
Always be alert when approaching a railway crossing.
Always check for approaching trains before crossing, even if the lights are not flashing red.

Distance to a Railway Crossing

There are specific signs with three, two, and one bars to indicate the distance to the railway crossing.

How to Cross a Railway Crossing Safely

Good visibility: Look both ways before reaching the crossing and drive over at the same speed. If driving faster than 70km/h, still reduce speed as the track may be uneven. -Limited visibility: Slow down, shift to a lower gear, look both ways, and cross. Accelerating as you drive across is also recommended. -Poor visibility: Stop before the crossing, look both ways, and drive across in 1st gear.
If the engine stalls on the track, move the car immediately.
If the engine starts, continue driving.
Barrier material is thin enough to drive through if the engine is stalled.
If the engine will not start, release the clutch and turn the key in the ignition, or push the car if it is a manual transmission.
If you are unable to move the car, call 112.
Never drive onto a railway crossing if there is a risk of stalling on the track.

Overtaking at a Railway Crossing

Overtaking at a railway crossing is prohibited, except when barriers, traffic signals, or the presence of two-wheeled vehicles exist.
Overtaking is allowed when barriers, traffic signals, or both are present.
Overtaking is only allowed when there are barriers and no traffic signals, or when there are signals and no barriers.
Overtaking is only permitted for two-wheeled vehicles if neither barriers nor traffic signals are present.
