Traffic priority at junctions with automatic traffic light signals shall be in accordance with the following colours:
1. Red for stop.
2. Yellow for readiness, but it does not mean move.
3. Green means move.
Motorists shall undertake to observe automatic traffic signals while driving.
Despite having priority or if the traffic light indicates green, a motorist may not move the vehicle if such act will disrupt or hinder traffic, and whoever has priority may waive such priority if traffic conditions so require. In the event that a traffic police officer is directing traffic using hand signals, motorists shall comply with those signals and not others, and all other traffic signals shall be invalid.
At multi-way junctions where a central circular arena is formed, priority is given to other motor vehicles coming from the left. A vehicle in front has priority over the others. Equal priority may occur when vehicles are moving parallel to one another, and those intending to change direction may give priority to vehicles continuing straight ahead.
At junctions with no signals or signs determining the priority, vehicles coming from the left shall have priority.
At cross-roads where there are signals or signs, priority is determined by traffic signs or signals.
At the junction of a paved with an unpaved road, priority of traffic is for vehicles coming from the paved road.
A motorist coming from a secondary road and preparing to join the main road shall allow the passage of vehicles on the main road, and may join the road only after looking.
