This happens at intersections where there’s no dedicated right-turn arrow. In these situations, you need to slowly move forward into the intersection, giving way to oncoming traffic. When there’s a break in traffic and it’s safe to do so, you complete your turn.

You need to give way to vehicles turning left and to any pedestrians.

If there are turn lines painted on the road, follow these line indicators.

Make sure you don’t obstruct traffic when you move into the intersection.

If you’re at an intersection with a red right-turn arrow but it doesn’t activate green, you proceed as above when the red right-arrow light flicks off, and the green straight light turns on.

What happens if you’ve entered the intersection but can’t make your turn?

If there are no safe gaps for you to complete your turn and the lights change from green to yellow or red, the road rules require you to leave the intersection as soon as you can safely do so. In this instance, you’ll need to make sure oncoming traffic will stop – it helps to try and make eye contact.
