Entering a driveway from the road or exiting a driveway onto the road is considered a special maneuver. There are various types of driveways and exits. Some are easily identifiable, like those at residential houses, business complexes, or shopping center parking areas.
Driveways or exits of residential neighborhoods or living yards might be less conspicuous. However, you can generally identify a driveway or exit by:
- A continuous sidewalk or bike path.
- Matching the color of the pedestrian or bike path on the main road.
- Featuring lowered curbs or driveway blocks on both sides.
Yielding
When attempting to enter a driveway from the road or exit onto the road from a driveway, you must not obstruct other road users. Therefore, you should yield to other traffic before executing this special maneuver.
Turning into a Driveway
If you’re preparing to turn into a driveway, it’s important to signal in advance and reduce your speed. This alerts the traffic behind you about your intended action. 🚨
#question how far before should you turn your signals on?
Parking at an Entrance or Exit
⚠️ It’s illegal to park your vehicle in front of an entrance or exit.
This applies even if it’s your own driveway.
