An uncontrolled intersection is where there is no traffic signal, stop sign, or give way sign.
As a rule, at an uncontrolled intersection, always give way to the right, to oncoming road users (this includes vehicles, bicycles, eRideables and pedestrians).
Specifically:
- If going straight ahead – give way to all road users on your right.
- If turning left – give way to all road users to the right and those crossing the road you’re entering.
- If turning left using a slip lane – give way to all road users on your right and those crossing the slip lane.
- If turning right – give way to all road users on your right, any oncoming road users who are going straight ahead or turning left. Give way to those crossing the road you’re entering.
