Speed Bump
appears in legs after a Non Elimnation, A team spared elimination is required to do a Speedbump, an extra task that only they have to complete before continuing with the normal race course.
Roundabout
A roundabout allows another team to complete the speedbump aside from the speedbumped team. Any team may be roundabouted except for the speedbumped team due to a Non Elimination Leg. This race clue is TBD whether this will be imposed in this season.
Junction
A Junction will force two teams to intersect until the end of the leg. All benefits and consequences is shared, such that if both teams arrive last in an elimination leg, they will BOTH be eliminated. This race clue will appear TWICE in this game.
