Great work getting your P’s today Annabelle 😁

ANSWER:

There is no 3 seconds rule. When stopping at a stop sign or stop line you need to come to a complete stop at or before the stop line (or intersection if there is no stop line), look and then give way to vehicles and/or pedestrians. Once it is safe, proceed.

Stop Signs… How long do you need to stop for?

Only 30% of people answered this one correctly.

The answer is YES, the blue car can proceed.

At a pedestrian crossing such as this, the driver must give way to anyone on, or about to enter the crossing, but can proceed when pedestrians are safely out of the way. -Rule 81(2)

This differs from a children’s crossing, whereby the driver cannot proceed until there is no pedestrian on, or entering the crossing. -Rule 80(3)

Can the blue car proceed?

The answer is YES you can.

Amazingly only 12% of people answered this correctly.

This can be found under rule 134(3c) of Victorian Road Safety Road Rules.

I want that park. Can I do it?🤔

The correct answer was BLUE needs to give way.

Cars turning right at an intersection don’t need to give way to vehicles turning left from a slip lane.

Most people answered this one correctly.

But remember, unless there are road markings to signal it, you don’t have to take the nearest lane when turning onto a multi-lane road. This is a common misconception and could be a dangerous assumption to make.

Who gives way?

The correct answer was Yellow.

If you are turning right, you must give way to oncoming vehicles going straight through the intersection or turning left.

Of 54 responses, 45 answered correctly, or 83%. That might sound ok, but at such a highly frequented intersection, 17% not knowing the rule is quite concerning 😬

Please share and comment if you’d like another intersection or rule in Warrnambool clarified.

Ok, who goes first? Blue or Yellow?
