Approaching junctions

When you approach an intersection, you need to know what kind of intersection it is. So you need to pay close attention and take the following into account:

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

When approaching an equivalent 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 sign B7, you always have to stop before you can drive on.
