Approaching junctions

When approaching a junction, you need to know the type of junction it is. So you need to pay close attention and take the following into account:

• Traffic lights.
• Shark teeth.
• Traffic signs regulate the right-of-way.
• How is the view of the junction, think of trees, parked cars, and so on.
• Are you approaching a paved or an unpaved road?
• Are there pedestrian crossings?
• Are there exposed cycle/moped paths? Remember that cyclists and moped riders can come from both the left and right, regardless of whether they are allowed to do so or not.

When approaching a priority uncontrolled junction, adjust your speed to the traffic density and visibility at the junction. If a driver then comes from the right, you do not have to make an emergency stop to give them the right of way.

If you approach a junction where you have to yield, do so at such a speed that the drivers at the junction can see from your speed that you intend to yield.

Check in time whether you have to yield or stop. If you arrive at a junction where sign B6 is shown, you do not have to stop if no drivers are approaching on the intersecting road. If you come to a junction where there is a sign B7, you always have to stop before you can drive on.
