Right-of-way rule 2

Rule 2:

Drivers intending to turn must give way to traffic approaching them on the same road, and give way to traffic travelling straight ahead on the same road next to or close to the driver on the left or right side.

Easier said: On the same road, straight ahead, traffic goes for turning drivers on this same road.

This rule applies at priority uncontrolled junctions and at junctions where priority is regulated by right-of-way signs or traffic signs.

This rule refers to traffic.
This means that pedestrians are given priority under this rule.

This rule also implies that as long as you are driving straight ahead, you don’t have to give priority to pedestrians. Pedestrians only yield when you want to turn left or right.

Many people refer to this as “straight ahead gives priority.” I’m happy if you do this. What’s often forgotten is that it must involve two drivers driving on the same road. Many mistakes are made during the theory test because of this simple rule.
I think it’s better if you just remember the rule. So, the rule I started this section with.

In this situation, the driver of the white car wants to turn left. This driver must now yield to oncoming traffic on the same road. In this situation, the red car is allowed to proceed.

In this situation, the driver of the white car must yield to the pedestrian. This is because the pedestrian is going straight ahead on the same road as the car.

You’ve now seen two situations where the white car doesn’t have the right to proceed. These were priority uncontrolled junctions. Below, you’ll see three junctions with shark’s teeth, a stop sign, and where the white car exits an unpaved road. In these situations, too, the driver of the white car must yield to the pedestrian and the driver of the red car.
