I have 3 of these near me and I can tell you nobody indicates. Who has right of way? The dickhead who is speeding to get ahead first.
Edit: whoops this is Brisbane question. My apologies.
Still a pretty relevant response given some driver in Brissy unfortunately. Most of them are pretty solid here though to be honest. It’s refreshing. Some days during the commute most drivers are straight up reasonable. Coming from NSW, shits weird.
Whoever is in front has right of way at these. It's unlike a situation where one lane ends (indicated by a dotted line that runs out), in which case the person in the continuing lane has right of way.
You could take a look at your state's laws to verify, but I strongly suspect the answer will be the same wherever in Australia you go. Our road rules are relatively standardised, even though it's all state legislation.
Of course whoever is in front has the right of way but sometimes you have smartarses coming up beside you to overtake. All I'm saying is let them go ahead. It's not worth your life to prove a point.
