Giving way

An intersection is where two or more streets or roads join or cross, and a public entrance or exit joins a street or road.

If any other vehicle is approaching or crossing an intersection, don't speed up as you approach.

There are give way rules that apply at intersections and driveways.

A roundabout is a central island in the middle of an intersection, where all vehicles must travel to the left of the island.

A railway level crossing is a point where the road crosses over a railway line.

Some roads in Aotearoa have one-lane bridges on them. At these bridges, vehicles travelling in one direction have to give way to vehicles going in the other direction.
