If the blue car has crossed the railway lines and is wanting to turn right, who gives way?
The red and green vehicles must give way to the blue vehicle. The blue vehicle is not facing a give way sign or line and therefore has priority at the intersection.
If the green vehicle is turning right, who must it give way to?
The green vehicle turning right must first give way to the blue vehicle turning right before giving way to the red vehicle.
If the blue car is turning left after the railway crossing, does it have to give way to the red car travelling straight?
The red vehicle which is facing a give way sign/line must give way to the blue vehicle regardless of whether the blue vehicle turns right or left after crossing the railway lines.
It’s also important to note that if the green vehicle is turning right or the red vehicle is turning left, they should not commence their turn and enter the intersection if the railway crossing signals are flashing red, warning bells are ringing, or the boom gate is closed, opening or closing.
