Formosa gardens blvd and funie steed road help

How do you navigate this crossroads? Is it a case of give way to left (like a roundabout) or free for all?

I got "beeped at" as I was obviously taking too long at this very junction... it is a case of first come - first served... come to a complete stop and work out who stopped before you ,and in what order... that is the order in which you make the move...

They are all 'stops' so we always take our turn. Never had any issues and everyone seems to do the same

Yes I believe this is true who arrives at junction first has right of way.

As above. I’ve never worked out what happens here it’s different every time.

It’s never been too busy though in the many times we’ve driven this way so I have never felt at risk when I decided to go

We have stayed in that location a few times and has always assumed as Moz says that it's whoever arrived first but apparently not although I think everyone seems to do that.

We call it the squareabout! We just take our turn on who we got to the junction after. Never very busy.

Can't add any more. It's a four way stop like dozens of others in the area. We go through it at least twice a day and rarely see it abused. Except maybe by locals who don't always stop travelling on FGB turning right into FSR.

The small bit of FSR beyond FGB however is still "unmade" which the Ts & Cs of our hire agreement don't like us to use. Here it was in May. Again I've seen locals use it and kick up a dust storm.
