Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Intersections

The traffic signals at an intersection are flashing or out altogether. Which rule applies?

The answer

  • The larger road always has priority
  • Treat every approach as a stop sign and take turns
  • First to arrive goes first
  • Give way to the right - give way to all vehicles on your right Correct

Why that's the answer

When signals are flashing or out, the give way to the right rule applies: give way to all vehicles on your right. At a T junction with malfunctioning signals, traffic on the terminating street gives way to all traffic on the continuing street.
