69 Giving way at give way sign or give way line at intersection (except roundabout)
A driver at an intersection (except a roundabout) with a give way sign or give way line must give way in accordance with this section.
Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.
Unless the driver is turning left using a slip lane, the driver must give way to a vehicle in, entering or approaching the intersection except—
an oncoming vehicle turning right at the intersection if a stop sign, stop line, give way sign or give way line applies to the driver of the oncoming vehicle; or
a vehicle turning left at the intersection using a slip lane; or
a vehicle making a U‑turn.
If the driver is turning left using a slip lane, the driver must give way to—
any vehicle on the road the driver is entering, or turning right at the intersection into the road the driver is entering (except a vehicle making a U‑turn at the intersection); and
any other vehicle or pedestrian on the slip lane.
If the driver is turning left or right or making a U‑turn, the driver must also give way to any pedestrian at or near the intersection who is crossing the road, or part of the road, the driver is entering.
For this section, an oncoming vehicle travelling through a T‑intersection on the continuing road is taken not to be turning.
