Zorluk: ZorLane Discipline and Positioning

You are waiting at a junction to turn right from a side road onto a dual carriageway. Before pulling out, you assess the central reservation and determine that its width is narrower than the overall length of your car. Which action should you take to maintain safe positioning and avoid obstructing traffic?

  1. A
    Cross the first carriageway when a gap appears and wait with the rear of your car in the central opening, regardless of overhang.
  2. Remain at the give-way line of the side road until both sides of the dual carriageway are sufficiently clear to complete the turn in one movement.Cevap
  3. C
    Pull into the central reservation gap at an angle to fit the car and sound the horn to alert oncoming traffic on the second carriageway.
  4. D
    Drive halfway across, turn left into the first carriageway against oncoming traffic, and enter the central gap from the other side.

Cevap

Remain at the give-way line of the side road until both sides of the dual carriageway are sufficiently clear to complete the turn in one continuous movement.
According to Rule 173 of the Highway Code, when turning right into a dual carriageway, you must assess whether the central reservation is deep enough to protect the full length of your vehicle. If the reservation is not deep enough to shelter your car, you must treat the dual carriageway as a single road and wait at the side road give-way line until there is a safe opening in traffic in both directions, completing the entire manoeuvre in one go.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the physical depth of the central reservation relative to vehicle length.
Identify that the central reservation is too narrow to shelter the entire length of the vehicle.
Highway Code Rule 173 requires drivers to determine whether the central reservation can fully contain their vehicle without causing an obstruction.
2
Hold your position behind the give-way line of the side road.
Prevent entering the first carriageway while traffic on the far carriageway is not clear.
Entering prematurely would force the vehicle to halt across active carriageway lanes, creating a dangerous static hazard.
3
Observe traffic flows on both sides of the dual carriageway until a safe opening exists simultaneously in both directions.
Complete the entire right turn in one unbroken manoeuvre directly into the appropriate lane.
A single continuous crossing ensures the vehicle clears all lanes safely without impeding other road users.
