Driving test help; Stopping or yielding?

Sorry that this is a bit late, but I've my driving test tomorrow morning and a quick answer would be great. What I want to know is that in estates (especially in the Wilton/Bishopstown area of Cork) there are a lot of t-junctions with no road markings, yield right of way or stop signs. For these, should I take it that they are stop signs and come to a complete stop or take it as a yield sign and roll through them?

Cheers, Billy.

Where the junction isn't marked or signed treat it as a yield. You MAY have to stop however if your observations aren't clear.

No road markings or signs mean it's an "uncontrolled junction", treat them like yield junctions.

Just be careful there isn't a solid white line at the end of your lane though, a lot of people fail to notice them if there's no sign or the word "stop" painted on the road, but solid line still means stop. I'm not from Cork so I can't give any local knowledge on the junctions you asked about but I know it happens frequently in driving tests here in Dublin.

If there's any doubt during the test just stop, better a grade 2 for progress than a grade 3 for running a stop sign. Best of luck
