Lesson 3.6 | Module 3: Junctions

One-Way Streets

Use signs, arrows, and road position early so one-way streets stop feeling like guesswork.

Written Practice Guide

This lesson is currently taught as a written guide. Read it before your next driving lesson, then use the practice task, instructor question, and self-check below to make the in-car lesson more useful.

Visual Guide

One-way street arrows and signs
Arrows and signs decide where the learner should position.

What This Helps With

One-way streets change where you position, especially for right turns. You must read signs and arrows early.

The Simple Version

Look for one-way signs and road arrows. If turning right from a one-way street, you may need to position on the right, not near the centre line.

Common Mistakes

  • Missing the one-way sign.
  • Turning right from the wrong position.
  • Following another driver instead of reading markings.
  • Realising too late which lane you need.

What Examiners Care About

They want early reading and correct positioning. Guessing lanes late can create sudden, unsafe changes.

Practise On Your Next Lesson

Ask to drive through a simple one-way street and talk through the signs, arrows, and right-turn position.

Ask Your Instructor

"What was the first clue that this was one-way?"

Quick Self-Check

  • Did I see the signs early?
  • Did I use the right position?
  • Did I follow markings, not other drivers?
