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

This YouTube video focuses on the "give way" rules at intersections in Australia. It emphasizes the importance of following traffic rules to avoid chaos and accidents. The video explains how intersections are divided into main roads and side roads using stop and give way signs. It highlights that drivers on the main road have priority over those on the side road, and provides guidance on who to give way to when turning left, going straight, or turning right at intersections with stop and give way signs.

The video also covers scenarios where two cars are turning right, who goes first when two cars reach a stop sign simultaneously, uncontrolled intersections, intersections with one stop or give way sign, T-intersections, and intersections with four stop signs. It mentions common mistakes that can result in failing a driving test, such as not following give way rules, giving way unnecessarily, and misunderstanding road markings.

Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of giving way at intersections in Australia and offers helpful guidance for drivers to navigate these situations safely and in accordance with the rules.

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

[prenticezhang]

Thank u 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.

[tiff_atkinson]

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

[desertrose]

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

[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.

[daveuser]

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.

[Don-iszb]

Very Helpful sir, thank you and take care

[aviiiscp]

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.

[randomdoseofvideoormusic]

Thank you very much for such a epic guide! Best i have ever seen!

[ruvaparr]

Amazing video 🤠📸. Your videos are very helpful and informative. Thank you 😊

[I.Liveoldcars.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.

[umaiszaman]

Great video 👍 how you made this makes me curious where u put the camera bro?? 😅

[TheCazz]

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.

[Bb-Univers]

Thank you my friend. It is important for me to know how to drive in AUS because I wasn't born there

[keleyahlivebytheword]

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.

[MichaelSwan-pz]

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.

[IamKhaKhan]

Jus a wow video so detailed. Thanks man

[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.

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.
