who has the right of way?

[akeenan]

me going straight or the other guy turning in front of me?

what do you think?

[d0p3y]

By NSW law i'm pretty sure you do.

[SLY33]

yeah you do, although i think some people think that if they stopped at the crossing first, they can go before you, as i see happen a fair bit...

like the tails lights in your pic! haha

[Parag0n]

im pretty sure you have to give way to your right...

[akeenan]

i thought i had the right of was as well, however that little part where he is is inbetween the 2 sides of east boundary road. 1 person told me he has the right of way because he is in the intersection. :confused:

however if it was just 2 normal streets i would ave the right of way???? im confused , nearly had a few problems earlier on this afternoon

[Jay95R33]

He must give way to you cause he is breaking the flow of traffic

[R31Nismoid]

give way to you man!

for sure!

[akeenan]

if i see that bright orange ute on the road again, the one with basically no front (hmm maybe that explains why he has no front???) im going to cut him of into a tree...

he was rather rude about the whole situation...

[Merli]

Whether you have right or way or not, if I was in that situation (which I am every now and then), I'll make my way forward slowly and make sure I'm ready to pounce on the brakes if the other guy comes out...

It's a very iffy situation right there, and not uncommon either.

[akeenan]

yeah thats what i was like, everytime there are 2 cars there usually each driver is like wtf??:confused: i'll give way to you, no i'll give way to you..... there really should be instructions of some sort on that corner

i might email my pic to vic roads and let them know about the problems people have on this intersection.

Isn't there a giveway sign at the carpark exit. My dilemmma is when you are both at a cross street from opposit directions and you both have a give way sign and one of you wants to turn across the other. My solution is to play safe and sign for the other guy to go first.

[slip]

Thats just the best picture ever.

He is turning across your path, you should have right of way.

[hippy]

yeah you're going straight ... since when did we have to give way to someone turning?? thats ridiculous

i think the real problem is when both wants to turn right ... now thats a problem ... but the situation above i would never give way ..

[51jay]

You'r at a give way sign....that means give way to everything

[akeenan]

well just went down to double check this intersection, looks like i technically have the right of way as the other driver would be facing a give way sign if it wasnt slight twisted facing another direction. oh well...

[2fardown]

You have the right away as the other person is crossing your path. Those people saying otherwise...how the hell did you get your licence?

[51jay]

If two or more drivers at an intersection are facing give way or stop signs then the signs effectively cancel each other out. The drivers should proceed as if there were no signs controlling the intersection, following the basic give way rules.

The above is a quote from Qld Transport Web page

[Shell]

You have right of way. If there's 2 cars facing each other like that, the one who wants to turn has to give way to the ones who are coming straight through.

That's the way it is down here anyway!!

[FuN bUs]

As a rule, if a vehicle is leaving private property he must give way to all street traffic. Unless traffic signage is present.

In this case im not familia with the area, but it looks like orange vehicle is leaving a shopping centre (car part) and even if the scenario were opposite. and he was proceeding straight and u were turning u would still b in the right

best idea go to a cop station and get thier advice then fro sure you know it's legal. No matter how many times people on here say your right, if the cops dont say so it means shit all.
