We can all help to keep our roads safe, by staying alert and taking care at intersections.
Even if you have the right of way be aware that pedestrians, cyclists or other drivers may make a mistake and a slower speed can be the difference between a minor, serious or even fatal outcome.
So slow down, look carefully for pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles approaching, and be ready to give way.

Set in a women's prison, Bad Girls is a powerful, uplifting and raucously entertaining musical, based on the award-winning and hugely popular British television drama.
It stars several Hutt Valley actors/singers and is directed by Lower Hutt local Lindsey Rusling.
The musical introduces us to an bunch of women on the edge and up against the odds - prostitutes, addicts, shoplifters, murderers - each with a story to tell of lives left behind and dreams of a better future ahead, and an entrenched old guard of prison officers out to dash their every hope.
Full of big songs and characters, Bad Girls is an exhilarating mix of gritty reality, rebellious spirit, and irreverent humour that touches hearts and kicks up a riot.
To enter the draw for two tickets to the Thursday, September 13 performance - email editor@huttnews.co.nz with "Bad Girls: The Musical" in the subject line.
Entries close 5pm Thursday, September 6.
