Negotiate a range of intersections.

GENERAL

1. Observes all road signs and markings at intersections.
2. Selects correct lanes and lane positions.
3. Identifies, in advance, type and status of intersection controls.
4. Early observation of traffic signals to anticipate possible changes
5. Identifies, and reacts appropriately, to other road users.
6. Abides by intersection blocking rule.
7. Applies, in all situations, the system of vehicle control.
8. Understands and applies correctly, in all intersections, the give way rule.

TURNING LEFT – UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION

1. Checks mirrors (entry and exit).
2. Indicates, irrespective of traffic conditions.
3. Appropriate speed throughout turn.
4. Positions vehicle as close as practicable to the left and, if necessary, stops in correct position.
5. Searches intersection before proceeding.
6. Applies the give way rule and proceeds only when safe to do so.
7. Gap selection reflects speed and position of intersecting traffic.
8. Maintains correct lane position throughout turn.
9. Accelerates steadily and smoothly to road speed after completing turn.

TURNING RIGHT – UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION

1. Checks mirrors (entry and exit).
2. Indicates early, irrespective of traffic conditions.
3. Appropriate speed throughout turn.
4. Positions vehicle to left of centre line and, if necessary, stops in correct position.
5. Searches intersection before proceeding.
6. Applies the give way rule and proceeds only when safe to do so.
7. Gap selection reflects speed and position of intersecting traffic.
8. Maintains correct lane position throughout the turn.
9. Accelerates steadily and smoothly to road speed after completing turn.

TURNING LEFT – CONTROLLED INTERSECTION

• Checks mirrors (entry and exit).
• Indicates intentions early, irrespective of traffic conditions.
• Adopts correct lane position to make the turn.
• Appropriate speed throughout turn.
• Searches intersection before proceeding (even if holding the right of way).
• Obeys all controls (give way, stop, traffic signals, police officers) and if required to stop does so in correct position.
• Gives way to pedestrians.
• Maintains correct lane position throughout the turn or turns into correct lane.
• Accelerates steadily and smoothly to road speed after completing turn.

TURNING RIGHT – UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION

1. Checks mirrors (entry and exit).
2. Indicates intentions early, irrespective of traffic conditions.
3. Adopts correct lane position to make the turn
4. Appropriate speed throughout turn.
5. Searches intersection before proceeding (even if holding right of way).
6. Obeys all controls (give way, stop, traffic signals, police officers) and if required to stop does so in correct position.
7. Applies the Give Way rule and proceeds only when safe to do so.
8. Gap selection reflects speed and position of intersecting traffic.
9. Maintains correct lane position throughout the turn or turns into correct lane.
10. Any turning bays/flush medians/acceleration lanes are used correctly.
11. Accelerates steadily and smoothly to road speed after completing turn.

GOING STRAIGHT – UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION

1. Checks mirrors (entry and exit).
2. Adopts correct lane position early and holds lane through intersection.
3. Appropriate speed throughout task.
4. Searches intersection prior to proceeding (even if holding right of way).
5. Obeys all controls (give way, stop, traffic signals, police officers) and if required to stop does so in correct position.
6. Applies the Give Way rule and proceeds only when safe to do so.
7. Gap selection reflects speed and position of intersecting traffic.
8. Maintains correct lane position through the intersection
9. Acceleration steadily and smoothly to road speed after negotiating the intersection

ROUNDABOUTS

1. Check mirrors (entry and exit).
2. Adopts correct lane position earlyand holds lane position through roundabout.
3. Searches into roundabouts before entering and gives way to traffic from the right.
4. Indicates intentions early.
5. If moving straight through at a roundabout, only indicates left to exit the roundabout when passing the entry point immediately before the required exit.
6. If turning left, signals left of approach and leaves on until roundabout has been exited.
7. If turning right, signals right on approach and in the roundabout, then indicates left to exit when passing the entry point immediately before the required exit.
8. If there are more than two lanes, uses the left lane for turning left and moving straight through and the right lane for turning right.
9. Negotiates, where applicable, traffic signal/roundabout combinations safely.
10. Speed reflects road and traffic conditions.
