DTT Give Way Rules and Junctions

Question 1

At a roundabout in Ireland, who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic already on the roundabout

Answer

At a roundabout in Ireland, traffic already circulating on the roundabout has priority. Drivers entering must give way to vehicles already on the roundabout.

Question 2

When turning right at a crossroads with no road markings, who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic coming straight ahead on the major road

Answer

At an uncontrolled crossroads, traffic on the major road has priority. If roads are equal, give way to traffic on the right. When turning right, you must also yield to oncoming traffic going straight.

Question 3

You are turning right at a junction. A cyclist is travelling straight ahead on your left. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The cyclist travelling straight ahead

Answer

A cyclist travelling straight ahead at a junction has priority over a vehicle turning right across their path. Drivers must always yield to cyclists they would cross or cut off.

Question 4

What does a broken yellow line at a junction indicate?

Accepted Answer

Give way — yield to traffic on the major road

Answer

A broken yellow line (or a Give Way sign and marking) at a junction means you must yield to traffic already on the road you are joining. Stop if necessary but stop is not always mandatory.

Question 5

Two vehicles are waiting to turn right at a crossroads facing each other. Which method of passing is correct?

Accepted Answer

Offside-to-offside (pass behind each other) unless road layout dictates otherwise

Answer

When two vehicles face each other and both wish to turn right at a crossroads, the offside-to-offside method (passing behind each other) is safest as it gives a clearer view of oncoming traffic.
