Giving way is a fundamental rule for ensuring safety and smooth traffic flow. Whether at intersections, pedestrian crossings or during manoeuvres, it is essential to know when and to whom to give priority in order to avoid any risk of accident.

Giving way

Rail vehicles

Every road user (pedestrians and drivers) must give way to rail vehicles by moving away from the railway track as soon as possible.

The intersection

A driver approaching an intersection must exercise extra caution to avoid any accident and give way to those coming from the right.

Priority to the right

Priority to the right applies at an intersection where traffic is not regulated by an authorised officer, traffic lights or road signs.

Roundabout

A driver travelling on a roundabout must never give priority to a driver coming from the right.

Respecting the rules on giving way contributes to responsible and safe driving. Mastering these principles, particularly priority to the right, roundabout rules and manoeuvre rules, is essential to guarantee the safety of all road users.
