AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 74

74 Giving way when entering a road from a road-related area or adjacent land

(1) A driver entering a road from a road-related area, or adjacent land, without traffic lights or a stop sign, stop line, give way sign or give way line must give way to:

(a) any vehicle travelling on the road or turning into the road (except a vehicle turning right into the road from a road-related area or adjacent land), and

(b) any pedestrian on the road, and

(c) any vehicle or pedestrian on any road-related area that the driver crosses to enter the road, and

(d) for a driver entering the road from a road-related area—any pedestrian on the road-related area.

Penalty: Offence provision.

Note: "Adjacent land", "give way line", "stop line" and "traffic lights" are defined in the dictionary, and "road-related area" is defined in rule 13.

Note: Adjacent land or a road-related area can include a driveway, service station or shopping centre—see the definitions of "adjacent land" and "road-related area". Some shopping centres may include roads—see the definition of "road" in rule 12.

Note: Part 6 applies to the driver if there are traffic lights. Rule 68 applies to the driver if there is a stop sign or stop line, and rule 71 applies to the driver if there is a give way sign or give way line.

Note: For this rule, "give way" means the driver must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.

(2) In this rule:
"road" does not include a road-related area.

Note: A "road-related area" includes any shoulder of a road—see rule 13.

Note:
In this example, vehicle B must give way to the pedestrian on the footpath and to vehicle A.
