Giving way is a fundamental rule to ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic. Whether at intersections, crosswalks or when maneuvering, it’s essential to know when and to whom to give way to avoid any risk of accident.
Giving way
Rail vehicles
All users (pedestrians and drivers) must give way to rail vehicles by moving away from the track as soon as possible.
The crossroads
Drivers approaching a crossroads must take extra care to avoid accidents and give way to those on their right.
Right of way
Right of way applies in an intersection where traffic is not controlled by a qualified officer, traffic lights or road signs.
Traffic circle
Drivers negotiating traffic circles must never give way to drivers coming on their right.
Respecting the rules governing right-of-way contributes to safe, responsible driving. Mastering these principles, in particular right-of-way, traffic circle and maneuvering rules, is essential to ensure the safety of all road users.
