🚗 Crossroads with give-way lines
At a crossroads, give-way lines tell you where you must stop/give way if required. They are usually a broken white line across your lane, often accompanied by a Give Way triangle/sign.
If you’re approaching the junction from the bottom:
1. Slow down as you approach the give-way line.
2. Look both ways and check for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
3. Give way to traffic on the priority road (the road you’re joining/crossing), as indicated by the signs/road markings.
4. If the junction is clear, continue without stopping.
5. If traffic is approaching, stop before the give-way line and wait for a safe gap.
6. When turning, remember to check for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road you’re entering.
⚠️ Important
A give-way line doesn’t necessarily mean you must stop every time. You stop only when necessary to give way. If the road is clear, you can proceed after slowing and checking.
If you want, I can also draw all 4 directions at a crossroads and explain exactly who gives way to whom, including turning right, turning left, and pedestrians.
