Slip lane supplemental passing a road test
A slip lane is a road traffic lane provided at an intersection to allow vehicles to turn at the intersection without actually entering it and interfering with through traffic. It therefore is not controlled by any traffic signals at that intersection. There are two types of slip lane - those where the lane continues into its own lane in the road which it turns into and those where the lane terminates at the point where it enters the road turned into.

Slip lanes may need to be removed if considerations such as pedestrian safety grow to a point where they over-ride the desire to facilitate free passage for cars.
In Australia cars exiting a slip lane must give way to all other traffic even when that traffic is faced with a give-way or other traffic controls.
