What are the intersection rules in Australia (Give way rules)

[@samanthapeters8314]

Thank you for your video. I am no longer confused about Give way rules.

[@prenticezhang7582]

Thank u sooooo much for this video. This is the first time I drive in Australia, not really familiar with the driving rules here. But your video do helped a lot! Thanks!

[@RLWAR]

Thanks for your time, your video has been very helpful in understanding the road rules and plan. I'm teaching my 16 year old daughter to drive and also teaching a friend.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome. Great. All the best 🙂

[@TheCazz10]

11:00 - yes , an example of an intersection in Australia where there are 4 stop signs is in Artarmon, Sydney. Where Clarendon St intersects Dickson Ave.

[@desertrose873]

What a great video. Very informative. This is exactly what I need. Thank you.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome and thank you for the feedback. Glad you found this useful 🙏

[@tiff_atkinson26]

Thankyou so much for this video! I have a much better understanding of these situations. You’re an absolute legend.

[@gogogeedus]

I grew up in a place that had no marked intersections and the rule that applied was give way to your right. a lot of aussie roads are unsealed and you need to know the two main rules, give way to pedestrians and cars on your right when driving in country Australia.

[@aviiisc3p0]

Thanks for the video. There is a 4 way stop sign in Ipswich, I will be doing my P's test in the coming months in Ipswich. Supposedly it's one of the only ones in Queensland itself.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome. Ah, yes, I came to know about that after publishing this video. Good luck with your driving test 🤞

[@keleyahlivebytheword8864]

Thanks for helping me understand. I literally got stuck with the part where you are at a cross road an the car on the opposite end wants to turn right an i also want turn right. Ive now learned if the road is narrow some1 has to be the nice 1 to let them pass. And if its a bigger space you can both pass without cliding.

[@keleyahlivebytheword8864]

I would really love if you were to do a video where you are driving in this situation.

[@zephyrmj]

King St, Lockyer St, Adamstown (4 way stop). There are a few uncontrolled intersections in built-up areas in the countryside but the councils made a point of putting give way or stop signs on where it intersected with a main road back in the 70s.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Great. Thank you for the info 🙏

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

Yep the town of Ayr has a number of give way to the right intersections in it.

[@kasunkumarasinghe6365]

very clear explanation. I got to know lot of things from this video...

[@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting]

Very good video. Easy to follow and understand. Alot better than any video by VicRds. Only problem is people ignore all these rules. If I had a dollar for every vehicle I see that ignores stop signs I would be rich.

[@belmum1689]

I know what about people not giving away and pulling out on you, a lot of people speeding and tail gating

Jus a wow video so detailed. Thanks man

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome 🙂

[@daveuser4955]

Great vid but I think you missed a critical rule that catches people out all the time. When turning left from a slip lane you must give way to everyone including an opposite direction vehicle turning right.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Thank you. This video is only about intersections in residential areas. Slip lane is a different topic. Video of that coming soon

[@Lowbrowzer]

Excluding anyone performing a u-turn. They must give way to everyone.

[@ThisBloke760]

Only in Victoria

[@steve-ct3gq]

For the 4 Stop signs intersection, there is one at ipswich test centre area , Delacy St and Smith St 😁

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Ah thank you. I'll check that out 🙂

@@drivingtestaustralia Ipswich area must like them, there's another one at Hayes St and Bourke St in Brassall.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

@@morbau11 Thank you for the information. I found it on the map. Yes, apparently Ipswich likes 4 way stop signs 😄

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

Okay correct me if I'm wrong but when approaching a give way line or a stop sign, you have to give way to both pedestrians, cyclists and mobility device riders crossing the road you are exiting, and pedestrians crossing the road you are entering. I think you have said things in a way in this video where that could be true, but the graphics only show one of these for the situation where you have to give way to two "crossings" easy rule is, you always give way to pedestrians etc crossing the road you are entering, (unless you are continuing straight on the main road) and you always give way to pedestrians crossing the road you are exiting when at a give way or stop line (in addition to the road you are entering). These rules also apply at T-intersections At 20:45 you said the dotted line is not a give way line. This is correct in that you don't have to give way to cars, but you do have to give way to pedestrians and cyclists etc - I imagine you know this but I think this rule is part of the reason they do it.

[@xshadowscreamx]

Certainly one of the nice easy neighbourhoods. The roads why I live can be like a war torn country plus so many hills and bad blind spots.

[@zephyrmj]

another four way stop at Clarendon St and Dickson Ave, Artarmon. But no-one knows what to do! They shouldn't have these unless it's clearer in the road rules.

[@MichaelSwan-p4z]

Thanks for a very informative video. However, I noted that you continually mention "giving way" at a STOP sign. In fact you have to come to a complete stop, then give way as necessary. This is an important difference to a GIVE WAY sign where a complete stop may not always be required.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome. Yes, the stop sign rules have been explained in this video. I recommend you watch the video to the end. Also, this video explains the stop sign rules to the fullest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYLKn4uFm6iro6ssi=8E11v7x8BcoMz99o

[@michaelllagas5248]

I just want to ask something and know if there is a car parked on the left and you pass, do you have to indicate right and when you pass the car indicate left again and return to your lane?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

If there are lanes, yes. If there is no lane, no; Only checking mirrors is fine

[@InvestmentResearch]

One rule I need to get clear about for which I failed once. When turning right at uncontrolled traffic what give way rules applied? Whether we need to wait until 2 sides no incoming vehicle or in emergency if we enter and can wait in middle of intersection to give away left vehicle after crossing right one?

[@IloveplantsAU]

Very helpful interactive instructions. Thank you

[@drivingtestaustralia]

You're welcome 😊

[@thatbluemiata]

Great video. For the driving commentary at the end of the video, are you checking your rear view mirror every time you slow down to turn? Are you also required to check side mirrors before turning onto another road? Thank you!!

[@drivingtestaustralia]

That's correct. With every turn, we check the rear view and side mirror (the side we are turning to)

[@thatbluemiata]

[@chriskang3179]

I noticed that you seldom made any shoulder check while driving in these roads. Does that mean you were always on a one lane per side road so no need head check when you turned left or right?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

That's right. Shoulder checks are only for wide roads when you move over to the left or right to turn and there might be another road user in your blind spot that you might run into. On narrow roads, you don't need to do shoulder check for turns

[@leenajoshi110]

Very helpful 👍 Thank you so much 😊

[@anita12336]

Very informative video.

[@briansanderson480]

In the old days we had give to the right at all intersections It proved impractical once cars doing 80 to 100 km per hour came common So quietly and without any government announcement we changed to major and minor roads with giveaway signs Canberra was the first state to introduce major and minor roads. The next job is to get drivers to use roundabouts by keeping in their correct lanes. We are managing up to now by merging two lanes into one at roundabouts.As traffic is getting heavier this will change .The next job is get heavy trucks keeping in slow lane instead of three semis side by side seeing whivj 1is 5 km faster Ah the joys of driving

[@mystikmind2005]

Some additional give way rules based on experience; 1) Trucks apparently do not have to give way when they are supposed to. The more beat up and old looking the truck, the more likely this will be. 2) Tradesman's Utes apparently do not have to give way when they are supposed to. The more beat up and old looking the Ute, the more likely this will be. 3) White vans with plumbing pipes on one side of the roof are apparently free to disobey any road rule they please at any time. 4) Cyclists wearing skin suits are apparently free to disobey any road rule they please at any time. 5) All of the above are apparently required by law to hurl abuse at you, when they do the wrong thing. Be aware of these important rules to be a safer driver.

So your "Give Way" sign is mostly the same as our "Yield" sign? Also driving on the left looks so weird. I never even thought you would have your signs on the opposite sides of the road as well.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Yes,'give way' is the same as 'yield'. There are quite a few countries that drive on the left side

[@samtheham3187]

Hey mate just passed my test to get my permit and I got a dumb question. In driving, I understand that 'giving way' rules are crucial at intersections, as highlighted in a video I watched. However, I'm curious about other scenarios where these rules apply. Could you list ALL different situations or locations, apart from intersections, where 'giving way' rules are important for drivers? For instance, in phrases like 'Giving way rules at ...', could you give me a list of all the other words that could complete this sentence?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Congrats for passing your driving test and yes, sure. That needs a dedicated long video. Watch this space

@@drivingtestaustralia Thanks mate. Arguably the one thing im most scared about before going out on the road is the giving way rules. That makes up most of the driving theory bulk right? Apart from knowing how to drive an actual car
