b. Never cross those barriers or islands except through an opening or at a cross-over or intersection.
_______________________________________________________________________________

5. On the shoulder or verge of the road.
6. At any intersection.

3. When the motor vehicle you want to pass you is being overtaken by another vehicle
4. If you have clear visibility for at least 150 metres.
_______________________________________________________________________________
CROSSING OR ENTERING A ROAD
You must not drive across a road or enter it unless the road is clear of traffic for a sufficient distance so that you won't obstruct or endanger cars coming from the left or right.
When you are driving in a road divided into lanes, don't turn from one lane into or across another lane unless it can be done without obstructing or endangering other traffic and after you had signalled clearly.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Turning left:
Before reaching the point where you want to turn left, keep as far left as possible and indicate your intention to turn left. And when you do turn, merge carefully with the other traffic.
Turning right:
If you want to turn right and you are on a road with lanes in both directions, drive as close to the middle of the road as possible without crossing over into the opposite lane, indicate that you want to turn right and then turn without obstructing or endangering other traffic.
