Traffic Regulations, Schedule 3 - Australian Road Rules 1999

A driver turning left at an intersection from a road (except a multi-lane road) must approach and enter the intersection from as near as practicable to the far left side of the road.

Offence provision.

Subrule (1) also applies to a rider of a bicycle who approaches and enters an intersection from a bicycle storage area.

Note

Bicycle storage area is defined in the dictionary.

Despite subrule (1), if there is space in a bicycle storage area for 2 riders of bicycles to be next to each other, the rider on the right may approach and enter the intersection as near as practicable to the right side of the other rider, but only if that other rider approaches and enters the intersection in accordance with this rule.

In this rule:

road does not include a road-related area.

Notes

1 Intersection and multi-lane road are defined in the dictionary.

2 Road-related area includes any shoulder of a road – see rule 13.
