            (a)         any vehicle travelling on the road the driver is entering; and

            (b)         any pedestrian or rider of a bicycle at or near the intersection who is crossing the road the driver is entering; and

            (c)         if the driver is turning right—any oncoming vehicle that is going straight ahead or turning left at the intersection (except a vehicle turning left using a slip lane).

Offence provision.

In relation to paragraph (b), rule 353(1) specifies that a driver is not required to give way to a pedestrian who is crossing the road that the driver is leaving, and rule 353(2) provides that a pedestrian who is only crossing a part of a road is considered to be crossing the road.
