Take extra care when driving on complex junctions. These are usually joined onto dual carriageways or motorways, and can be made up of numerous lanes. You should:
- watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists, powered wheelchairs/mobility scooters and pedestrians as they are not always easy to see. When driving be aware that they may not have seen or heard you if you are approaching from behind.
- look out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way.
- watch out for long vehicles which may be turning at a junction ahead; they may have to use the whole width of the road to make the turn.
- road users requiring extra care, like young children and the elderly.
- if you are learning to drive, complex junctions can be very confusing, always listen to your driving instructor and stay calm, by planning ahead.
- do not assume, when waiting at a junction, that a vehicle coming from the right and signalling left will actually turn. Wait and make sure.
