73 Giving way at a T–intersection

(1) A driver at a T‑intersection without traffic lights or a stop sign, stop line, give way sign or give way line, must give way in accordance with this rule.

Offence provision.

Note 1: Give way line, stop line, T–intersection and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary.

Note 2: For this rule, give way means the driver must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.

Note 3: Rule 75(1)(d) requires a driver at a T–intersection to give way when crossing the continuing road to enter a road‑related area or adjacent land.

(2) If the driver is turning left (except if the driver is using a slip lane) or right from the terminating road into the continuing road, the driver must give way to: (a) any vehicle travelling on the continuing road; and (b) any pedestrian on the continuing road at or near the intersection.

Note: Continuing road, slip lane and terminating road are defined in the dictionary.

Note: Examples

Note: In example 1, vehicle B must give way to vehicle A.

Note: In example 2, the vehicle must give way to the pedestrian.

(3) If the driver is turning left from the terminating road into the continuing road using a slip lane, the driver must give way to: (a) any vehicle travelling on the continuing right (except a vehicle making a U‑turn on the continuing road at the T‑intersection); and (b) any pedestrian on the slip lane. (4) If the driver is turning left (except if the driver is using a slip lane) from the continuing road into the terminating road, the driver must give way to any pedestrian on the terminating road at or near the intersection.
