62  Giving way when turning at an intersection with traffic lights
 (1) A driver turning at an intersection with traffic lights must give way to:
 (a) any pedestrian at or near the intersection who is on the road the driver is entering; and
 (b) if the driver is turning left at a left turn on red after stopping sign at the intersection:
 (i) any vehicle approaching from the right, turning right at the intersection into the road the driver is entering or making a U–turn; and
 (ii) any pedestrian at or near the intersection who is on the road the driver is leaving; and
 (c) if the driver is turning right—any oncoming vehicle that is going straight ahead or turning left at the intersection (except a vehicle turning left using a slip lane).
Offence provision.
Note 1: Intersection, oncoming vehicle, slip lane, straight ahead and U‑turn are defined in the dictionary.
Note 2: For this rule, give way means the driver must remain stationary until it is safe to proceed—see the definition in the dictionary.
Note 3: Rule 322(3) and (4) deal with the meaning of a traffic sign at an intersection.
Note 4: A driver turning left at a left turn on red after stopping sign, at an intersection with traffic lights showing a red traffic light, must stop in accordance with rule 56(1) before making the turn.
 (2) However, a driver who is turning at an intersection with traffic arrows showing a green traffic arrow need not give way to an oncoming vehicle if the driver is turning in the direction indicated by the green traffic arrow.
Note: Green traffic arrow is defined in the dictionary.
