Rule 72 On the
left. When approaching a junction on the left,
watch out for vehicles turning in front of you, out of or
into the side road. Just before you turn, check for
undertaking cyclists or motorcyclists. Do not ride on the
inside of vehicles signalling or slowing down to turn
left.
Rule 73
Pay particular attention to long vehicles which
need a lot of room to manoeuvre at corners. Be aware that
drivers may not see you. They may have to move over to
the right before turning left. Wait until they have
completed the manoeuvre because the rear wheels come very
close to the kerb while turning. Do not be tempted to
ride in the space between them and the kerb.
74
On the right. If you are turning right, check the traffic to
ensure it is safe, then signal and move to the centre of the
road. Wait until there is a safe gap in the oncoming traffic
and give a final look before completing the turn. It may be
safer to wait on the left until there is a safe gap or to
dismount and push your cycle across the road.
75
Dual carriageways. Remember that traffic on most dual
carriageways moves quickly. When crossing wait for a safe gap
and cross each carriageway in turn. Take extra care when
crossing slip roads.
