    Subject:

    Crossroads
    Turning Left/Right. Emerging Left/Right. MSM(PSL)
    What How By the end

    Recap: Objective:

    How to identify, approach & negotiate crossroads. Look at the main points of crossroads and how the MSM routine should be applied, followed by on road practice. Be able to identify, approach & negotiate crossroads safely & with due regard for other road users.

    Main Points:
    MARKED How to Identify

    Road markings/signs (priority) - Look for two roads opposite each other (traffic emerging/turning/crossing).
    Major to Major

    Hazard - MSM

    Going straight ahead - signal to consider is brake lights. Speed Match speed to what you can see - slow down until you can see it's safe to proceed (clearly see the ends of the roads - watch for emerging traffic)
    Major to Minor

    Note: When Turning Right

    Treat as turning L/R (MSM) with more observations (traffic in/out of extra road). When oncoming vehicle is also turning right. Two ways of negotiating other vehicle - determined by layout of crossroads, road markings & the other driver. Offside to OS - Safest, you have clear view of road ahead (leave space in Qs). Nearside to NS - Less safe as view is restricted (sometimes compulsory).
    Minor to Everywhere

    Approach as emerge L/R, MSM - signs/markings, give way/stop, open/closed. Extra Obs. A new consideration to emerging left/right is the road opposite. If there is a car opposite - neither have priority. Make eye contact with other driver and look for clues - position of vehicle / angle of wheels / signals.
    UNMARKED All Directions How to Identify

    No road markings/signs (often found on country lanes and housing estates). Clues - gaps in rows of houses/hedges/streetlights, vehicles emerging/turning. No Priority Never assume priority - vehicles from left/right may assume priority is theirs. Speed Imagine a give way line and approach as if you are emerging. Match your speed to what you can or cannot see. Always be prepared to give way.
