On the road

Driver action

What should you do?

Reduce speed and be prepared to give way to crossing traffic, as the intersecting roads do not meet at the same point. Drivers unfamiliar with staggered layouts should take extra care, as the second junction may appear sooner than expected.

Exam-style scenario

Read the situation

The first side road is on the right and a second offset branch follows on the left.

Best response: Check the right-side junction first and remain slow for the offset left-side junction that follows.
