Zorluk: OrtaJunctions and Intersections

You are waiting at a Give Way junction intending to turn right onto a dual carriageway. The central reservation is narrower than the length of your vehicle. What action should you take?

  1. A
    Emerge halfway into the central reservation as soon as traffic from your right clears, waiting there for a gap on the left
  2. B
    Move into the central reservation only when an approaching driver from the right flashes their headlights to let you out
  3. Wait until traffic is clear in both directions before emerging to complete the turn in one continuous manoeuvreCevap
  4. D
    Position your vehicle diagonally across the central opening to prevent oncoming vehicles from passing your rear

Cevap

Wait until traffic is clear in both directions before emerging to complete the turn in one continuous manoeuvre.
Under Highway Code Rule 173, when turning right onto or crossing a dual carriageway, you must assess whether the central reservation is deep enough to protect your vehicle. If it is too narrow, you must treat both carriageways as a single road and wait at the Give Way line until both directions are completely clear before emerging.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the depth of the central reservation opening before attempting to cross or turn right.
Identify that the central reservation is too narrow to hold the full length of the vehicle safely.
Prevents entering a central gap where the vehicle would dangerously overhang the carriageway.
2
Apply Highway Code Rule 173 for narrow central reservations.
Determine that the junction must be treated as one single road rather than two separate crossing stages.
Ensures the driver does not stop mid-junction and block active traffic lanes.
3
Hold position at the Give Way line until simultaneous clear gaps appear in traffic from both the right and left.
Safely emerge and complete the turn into the far carriageway without stopping in the middle.
Maintains clear lanes and eliminates the risk of rear-end or side-impact collisions.
