Junctions and priority in Ireland
Most collisions happen at junctions, so the theory test gives them close attention. Good observation and knowing who has priority are the keys to using them safely.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Use the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre routine on the approach to every junction.
- ◆ At a stop sign you must stop fully at the line; at a yield sign you give way without always stopping.
- ◆ When turning right, give way to oncoming traffic before you cross its path.
- ◆ When turning left, watch for cyclists and motorcyclists on your left-hand side.
- ◆ At an unmarked junction no one has priority, so approach slowly and be ready to give way.
