Queensland · PrepL Road Rules Test · Give way

Why are GIVE WAY and STOP signs placed at particular intersections?

The answer

  • Only where crashes have already happened
  • To mark the boundary of a built-up area
  • To slow all traffic evenly across the network
  • Because extra care is needed for limited visibility, or because vehicles on the other road have priority Correct

Why that's the answer

They are placed at intersections where extra care is needed because of limited visibility, or where vehicles on the other road have priority. Seeing one is a cue that you cannot rely on the ordinary give-way-to-the-right rule.
