Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "creep and peep" at an intersection?
Creep and peep means slowly rolling forward at an intersection with limited visibility to see if it is safe to proceed. This is acceptable and often necessary at blind intersections.
How far in advance should I signal before a turn?
Signal at least 30 metres before your turn in urban areas. On highways, signal at least 150 metres before your turn.
What should I do if I am in the wrong lane at an intersection?
Do not change lanes in the intersection. Complete the turn in the lane you are in, then safely change lanes after the intersection when it is safe.
