Overview

Normally the traffic on the major road has priority. Some drivers may not give cyclists priority – they need to be aware of traffic all around them and should try to make eye contact with drivers to make sure they have seen them.

Right turn (major road to minor road)

Take a look at the diagram below:

• Look back as you approach the junction.
• If it’s safe, signal clearly with the right arm – hold the signal and move out towards the centre line.
• Put both hands back on handlebars.
• Give a lifesaver look back.
• Check ahead for any oncoming traffic.
• If it’s clear ahead, you should make the turn when you are opposite the junction – aiming for the left hand side of the lane and trying not to cut the corner.
• If there is traffic coming you need to stop and wait opposite the junction.
• Reset the pedal and then follow the iCycle System when the road ahead is clear.
