Birdlip Junction - A417/B4070 advice
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2011 8:45 pm
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could clarify the following junction.
Turning right out of the B4070, I believe traffic turning right on the A417 should giveway to me because of their giveway lines. However this feels unnatural because I should also be giving way to vehicles on the road I am joining? Also unsure because don't think everyone would interpret it the same way leading to two vehicles getting into trouble in the single carriageway with fast moving traffic coming!
Last time when I arrived there was 4 cars queuing right from the A417, so I let them go first. The next two cars that went to turn right from the main carriageway went past their giveway and sat in the middle of 'my' waiting area as seen here. I guess that was to prevent doubt that they were going first, but there was room to squeeze in behind them into that waiting area as well.
Any ideas? Any junction veterans/locals shed some light?
