Uncontrolled junctions: who goes first?

Understand who counts as a driver and how approach direction, road surface and trams affect priority.

Check the controls first. Instructions, operating traffic lights or priority signs mean the right-hand rule alone does not decide the order. At an uncontrolled equal-priority junction, give way to drivers approaching from your right.

Cyclists, moped riders and horse riders count as drivers. Someone walking a bicycle is a pedestrian. Identify what the person is doing, rather than only the vehicle you see.

A narrower or quieter paved street does not automatically have to yield. At an uncontrolled T-junction, a driver from the side road may approach from your right. Road width and junction shape do not replace the right-hand rule.

Coming from an unpaved road, yield to drivers on the paved road even when you approach from their right. At an uncontrolled junction, yield to a tram even from the left. A tram still has to obey its applicable traffic lights and priority signs.
