Notes
1 Intersection, oncoming vehicle, slip lane, straight ahead and yellow traffic arrow are defined in the dictionary.
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.
3 There is no requirement under Division 1 of this Part for a driver to stop for a flashing yellow traffic arrow.
4 The application of this rule and rule 353(1) and (2) is modified by regulation 78AAA of the Traffic Regulations 1999.
5 In relation to paragraph (b), rule 353(1), as modified by regulation 78AAA, specifies that a driver is not required to give way to a pedestrian or rider of a bicycle who is crossing the road that the driver is leaving, and rule 353(2), as modified by regulation 78AAA, provides that a pedestrian or rider of a bicycle who is only crossing a part of a road is considered to be crossing the road.
