SPECIAL RULES ABOUT THE MILITARY CONVOY

Road users must not cut across military convoys. This rule only applies at priority uncontrolled junctions.
Rules 2 and 3 of our priority rules do apply at a priority controlled junction.

Drivers of a motor vehicle belonging to a military convoy that has begun to pass the traffic light at a green light may continue to proceed even after a different color of light has become visible.

Within built-up areas, drivers must give bus drivers sufficient opportunity to pull away from a bus stop if the bus driver signals his intention to do so. This does not apply to drivers of vehicles forming part of a military convoy.

Drivers must give way at all times to pedestrians and drivers of invalid carriages who are crossing or obviously waiting to cross at a pedestrian crossing. This rule does not apply to drivers of vehicles forming part of a military convoy.
