Junctions are very common places for road traffic accidents. The highway code states that all drivers must approach junctions with a lot of caution and follow the rules to ensure the safety of all drivers. The highway code states to watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters and pedestrians, as they are not easy to see.
When emerging from a junction, you must always give way to the cars that are on the main road. Some junctions display “give way” signs and some junctions display stop signs and drivers of all vehicles should always follow these signs.
Rule 171 of the highway code states that:
“you must stop behind the line at a junction with a “stop” sign and a solid white line”
If a driver fails to follow this rule, they might cause a car accident.
Rule 172 of the highway code states that:
“The approach to a junction may have a “give way” sign or a triangle market on the road” you must give way to traffic on the road when emerging from a junction with white lines across the road”.
