Turning right from a minor road onto a major road

Check your mirrors well in advance for traffic following behind you and give a right turn signal.

As soon as you can do so safely, take up a position just left of the middle of the road.

If you are at a junction controlled by a Stop or a Yield sign, wait at the entrance to the junction until the road is clear in both directions.

Where possible, leave room for other vehicles to pass on the left.

When a safe gap occurs in traffic coming from both directions, finish your turn so that you enter the left-hand side of the road onto which you are turning.

Be alert for road markings which direct you to follow a certain course.
