give way rules victoria

Ah, the give way rules in Victoria—because apparently everyone loves a game of vehicular chicken. Simply put, you must give way to vehicles already on the roundabout or at an intersection when you don’t have priority. At T-intersections without signs, you give way to all traffic on the continuing road. Pedestrians, of course, get the royal treatment; you must give way when they’re crossing at marked or unmarked crossings.

Key points:

• Give way to vehicles on your right at uncontrolled intersections.
• Give way to all vehicles on a roundabout.
• Give way to pedestrians at crossings.

For the full legal spiel, consult VicRoads or ServiceCentral. Or just keep your eyes peeled and your foot off the gas until you’re sure you’re not about to play bumper cars.
