Right-of-Way Rules

Understanding right-of-way is essential for driving safety and passing your theory test. It prevents collisions and keeps traffic flowing smoothly.

1. The Right-Hand Rule (Priority to the Right)

At intersections without signs, traffic lights, or policemen, you must yield the right of way to vehicles approaching from your right. This rule applies in most residential areas and zones with low speed limits.

2. Roundabout Rules

Unless signs state otherwise, vehicles already inside the roundabout have the right-of-way. Always yield to traffic on your left when entering a roundabout.

• Signage: Look for the “Yield” sign combined with the roundabout sign before entering.

3. Emergency Vehicles

Emergency vehicles (ambulances, police cars, fire engines) with flashing lights and sirens ALWAYS have priority, regardless of other rules. Move to the side of the road safely to allow them to pass.
