A driver at an intersection (except a T-intersection or roundabout) without traffic lights or a stop sign, stop line,

give way sign or give way line, must give way in accordance with this rule.

traffic lights are defined in the dictionary, and roundabout is defined in rule 109.

In each example, vehicle B must give way to vehicle A.

Note

Straight ahead is defined in the dictionary.

If the driver is turning left (except if the driver is using a slip lane), the driver must give way to:

any vehicle approaching from the right, unless a stop sign,

stop line, give way sign or give way line applies to the driver of the approaching vehicle; and
