You intend to turn right at a busy signal-controlled crossroads equipped with a yellow box junction. The traffic lights are green, but there is a steady stream of oncoming traffic and pedestrians are active near your target road. Arrange the following steps in the correct chronological sequence to safely and legally complete the manoeuvre.
- 1Confirm your intended exit lane is entirely clear of stationary vehicles.
- 2Move forward into the criss-cross yellow markings and position your vehicle for the turn.
- 3Wait inside the junction while yielding priority to oncoming vehicles travelling straight ahead.
- 4As a gap in oncoming traffic emerges, verify the target road is free of crossing pedestrians before turning.
- 5Complete the manoeuvre and exit the box junction once all conflicting paths are clear.
Cevap
First confirm the exit is clear, then enter the box junction to wait, yield to oncoming traffic, check for crossing pedestrians as a gap appears, and finally complete the turn.
Safely turning right at a box junction requires a specific sequence of priority checks. First, Rule 174 requires checking that your exit is clear. If it is, you may enter the box and wait. While inside the box, you must give way to oncoming traffic. As a safe gap in oncoming traffic appears, you must then observe the updated Rule 170 and give way to any pedestrians crossing your target road before finally completing the turn.
