Who would have right of away??

[MATT93]

Just wondering as lots of people just fly over the lanes and dont pay attention so would like to know if I am in the 'right' before someone drives into me (Taxi driver almost did earlier)..
Coming out of knock tescos and turn right (I'd be in the right hand lane)

Id be going from the right hand lane into the middle lane once through the lights but noticed loads of people in the left lane just fly over into the middle lane even without indicating like they have right of away?

Please tell me if I'm wrong..

lol, you mean right of way.
I would say right hand lane to right hand lane, left hand lane to left or middle.

Fixed, I'm still not convinced, if you were coming in from Bangor you would be in the right hand lane to get into the middle lane.. So dont see why it shouldnt be the same from Tesco..

I've always taken it to be right hand lane to right and middle, left to left.

+1 for me

Right hand lane to go right or middle. The lane for right/ middle starts as one lane and widens to create the two.

did you not know that taxis have their own highway code lol

is the left hand lane there (when you're pulling away from the lights i presume you mean) not for going straight on to the outer ring or holywood road ?
right hand lane for holywood road/turning right onto bypass .
no-one in the left lane should be cutting across to the right ??

Yeah the taxi driver was in the left hand lane at the lights then swung into the middle lane without indicating but reason I ask is because its not the first time its happened and I'm sure it wont be the last. Yeah I would take the right hand lane at the lights to turn right onto the bypass or middle lane to head Ashfield school direction.

think you'd be correct chum .
i've used that junction everyday for years and if you need to go right you have to be in the right hand lane .
the left does split further on up towards the next lights so folks do cross from left to middle to go up the holywood road but no-one should be starting in the left lane wanting to go right .
but they do - show them the wrath of your horn and 2 fingered salute !

LOL, her mum was in the car and freaks out when I go over 35

if there is any ambiguity with a lane Id say whoever is in front has the right of way.

Aye its a funny oul one that as it doesnt make it totally clear to the clueless or ignorant (taxi), but that system is made up for maximum flow away from the Tesco lights by having 2 lanes go left to either carry on as 2 flows of traffic all the way up Parkway, or else those that need to use the outside lane (right hand lane) to be able to exit off towards Holywood/City Airport or further on up onto Holywood Road.

You were correct as Scub has pointed out as you would be crossing 2 lanes to then get into the 3rd lane off slip to go up H'wood Road
