Article 16. Change of Direction
1. Before turning right or left for the purpose of entering another road or entering
a property bordering on the road, a driver shall, without prejudice to the provisions
of Article 7, paragraph 1, and of
Article 14, of this Convention:
(a) If he wishes to turn off on the side appropriate to the direction
of traffic, keep as close as possible to the edge of the carriageway appropriate
to that direction and make as tight a turn as possible;
(b) If he wishes to turn off on the other side, and subject to
such other provisions as Contracting Parties or subdivisions thereof may enact for
cycles and mopeds enabling them to change direction, for instance by crossing the
intersection in two separate stages, move as closely as possible to the centreline
of the carriageway if it is a two-way carriageway or to the edge opposite to the
side appropriate to the direction of traffic if it is a one-way carriageway and,
if he wishes to enter another two-way road, make his turn so as to enter the carriageway
of such other road on the side appropriate to the direction of traffic.
2. While changing direction, the driver shall, without prejudice to the provisions
of
Article 21 of this Convention regarding pedestrians, allow road users
to pass on the carriageway, or on other parts of the same road he is preparing to
leave.
