nce you have dealt with emerging from basic junctions it is
important you understand how to emerge
om busier junctions.
ey learning notes
merging at busier junctions
efore you can emerge into a major road with busy traffic streams
you need a safe gap in the traffic.
his gap has to be large enough for you to emerge and build up
your speed to that of the traffic already
n the major road.
hen turning right you will also need a gap to appear in the
traffic from the right large enough to give
u time to cross over to the left hand side of the major road.
The gap from the right needs to appear at
e same time as the gap in the traffic from the left. The space
needed from the right does not need to
as long as the one from the left as you are only crossing over
to the left side of the road.

your view of the junction is obscured by parked vehicles
continue to creep forward slowly until you
n obtain a view as in the diagram below.
merging at Y junctions
he procedure for approaching and emerging from Y junctions is
basically the same as T junctions.owever, the position of your
vehicle may need to be slightly different just before emerging.
Extra
servations should be taken in order to improve your zone of
vision as the pillars of the car might
scure your view and cause you to miss something small like a
motorcycle or pedestrian.
