Junctions, roundabouts, and priority rules
Priority at junctions
Priority is given, not taken. At a stop sign, stop completely behind the line and give way; at a yield sign, slow and give way only if traffic is coming. At traffic lights, enter only on green and clear the junction before the exit blocks. Turning traffic generally yields to pedestrians crossing the road it is entering, and a vehicle turning across oncoming traffic must wait for a safe gap.
Roundabouts in Jordan
Traffic circulates counter-clockwise because Jordan drives on the right. Give way to traffic already on the roundabout, approaching from your left. Choose the lane for your exit before entering, keep your position while circulating, and signal right after passing the exit before yours. Do not stop inside the roundabout unless traffic ahead blocks the exit.
Worked example
You approach a two-lane roundabout intending to take the third exit. A car is already circulating in the left lane. You slow, check the left mirror and blind spot, and wait rather than enter. The reasoning: that car has priority; entering would force it to brake and would fail the priority rule even if you avoided a collision.
Traps that cost marks
Rolling through a stop line; entering a roundabout without looking left; changing lanes inside the roundabout; signalling left on exit; blocking a junction while waiting; and assuming a green light means the exit is clear.
