    09 Emerging Right

    Uploaded by

    Sara Bouamra
    This document provides guidance on how to safely emerge right from a minor road onto a major road. It outlines the MSM routine of checking mirrors, signaling, and positioning left of center before reducing speed based on whether the junction is open or closed. For an open junction with good visibility, maintain a safe speed to turn right in control, while a closed junction may require slowing down or stopping to check for a safe gap in oncoming traffic. When turning right, avoid cutting the corner or mounting the far curb, and check mirrors before cancelling the signal and accelerating to a safe speed for the new road.

    What How By the end

    Recap: Objective:

    How to approach & emerge right from a minor into a major road. Look at the main points of emerging right and how the MSM routine should be applied, followed by on road practice. Be able to emerge right from a minor into a major road under full control and with due regard for other road users/pedestrians.

    Main Points:
    Advance Info.

    Look for clues on the approach to help identify the junction & plan ahead: Look for signs or road markings (Give Way/Stop) - try to asses if junction is. Open You have a good, early view into the new road from both directions. Decision to go can be made early (must always stop if Stop sign though). Closed View is obstructed (houses/trees/cars/bends). Can't see much of the new road. Be prepared to slow right down & stop (if req.) in order to look & find safe gap. Junctions are hazards - MSM routine should be applied (MSPSL) Check speed/position of vehicles behind - Interior and right.

    Hazard Mirrors Signal

    Your intention to other road users/pedestrians - clearly and in good time. Note: If side road on right before junction ahead, delay signal (dont confuse). Position Left of centre, as close as is safe - Confirms intention to turn right. Speed Reduce speed on approach - Give Way or Stop? - Open or Closed? Open (and clear) - safe speed to make turn in control (2nd gear). Closed - Slow right down (1st gear), stop if necessary (prepare to move). Look Effective obs. in all directions at earliest point you can see clearly (min R/L/R). Keep looking on the approach as you slow down or stop (if req.) to find a safe gap - must not cause other drivers to change speed or direction ( Slow down, Swerve, Stop or Swear)
    Steering

    Not too early - cut corner (bollards/refuges) or too late - mount far kerb. Try to cross the near lane before turning (depends on road width) and end up in normal driving position. Check mirrors, make sure signal is cancelled & if safe, accelerate to a safe speed for road/conditions ASAP.

    After Turn
