A system for autonomously navigating a vehicle through a road junction may include at least one processor programmed to receive from an image capture device at least one image representative of an environment of the vehicle. The processor may also be configured to analyze the image to identify two or more landmarks located in the environment of the vehicle and to determine, for each of the two or more landmarks, a directional indicator relative to the vehicle. The processor may be configured to determine a current location of the vehicle relative to the road junction based on an intersection of the directional indicators a heading for the vehicle based on the directional indicators for the two or more landmarks. The processor may be configured to determine a steering angle for the vehicle by comparing the vehicle heading with a predetermined road model trajectory at the current location of the vehicle.
