1.

Every driver approaching an intersection shall exercise such extra care as may be appropriate to local conditions. Drivers of vehicles shall, in particular, drive at such a speed as to be able to stop to allow vehicles having the right of way to pass.

2.

Every driver emerging from a path or an earth-track (dirt road) on to a road other than a path or an earth-track shall give way to vehicles travelling on that road. For the purposes of this Article the terms ‘path’ and ‘earth-track’ (dirt road) may be defined in domestic legislation.

3.

Every driver emerging on to a road from a property bordering thereon shall give way to vehicles travelling on that road.

4.

Subject to the provisions of paragraph 7 of this Article:

(a): In States where traffic keeps to the right the driver of a vehicle shall give way, at intersections other than those specified in paragraph 2 of this Article and in Article 25, paragraphs 2 and 4 of this Convention, to vehicles approaching from his right;
(b): Contracting Parties or sub-divisions thereof in whose territories traffic keeps to the left shall be free to regulate the right of way at intersections as they see fit.

5.

Even if traffic light signals authorize him to do so, a driver shall not enter an intersection if the density of traffic is such that he will probably be obliged to stop on the intersection, thereby obstructing or preventing the passage of cross traffic.

6.

A driver who has entered an intersection where traffic is regulated by traffic light signals may clear the intersection without waiting for the way to be opened in the direction in which he wishes to proceed, provided that this does not impede the progress of other road-users moving in the open direction.

7.

Drivers of vehicles not moving on rails shall give way to rail-borne vehicles.
