Road Rules 2008 (NSW)
These Rules are the Road Rules 2008.
These Rules commence on 1 July 2008.
The objects of these Rules are:
(a) to consolidate in a single instrument the road rules that are applicable in New South Wales, and
(b) to provide for road rules that are based on the Australian Road Rules so as to ensure that the road rules applicable in this State are substantially uniform with road rules applicable elsewhere in Australia, and
(c) to provide for other road rules to be observed in this State in relation to matters that are not otherwise dealt with in the Australian Road Rules.
This rule is not uniform with the corresponding rule 3 of the Australian Road Rules.
The Dictionary at the end of these Rules defines certain words and expressions, and includes references to certain words and expressions defined elsewhere in these Rules (
The signpost definition “
The Dictionary only includes a signpost definition for a word or expression if the word or expression is used in 2 or more rules of these Rules.
The Dictionary is part of these Rules.
A definition in these Rules applies to each use of the word or expression in these Rules, unless the contrary intention appears.
If a word or expression used in a provision of these Rules is defined in the Act, it has the same meaning as in the Act, unless the word or expression is defined in these Rules for the purposes of the provision or these Rules generally.
This subrule is an additional NSW subrule. There is no corresponding subrule in rule 4 of the Australian Road Rules.
A diagram in these Rules is part of these Rules.
If a diagram of a traffic control device, traffic-related item or symbol is in black and white in a rule of these Rules, the diagram may be a black and white version of the device, item or symbol—see rule 314. If so, the colour version of the device, item or symbol will be in Schedule 2, 3 or 4.
A diagram may be an example—see rule 6 (1).
An example (whether or not in the form of a diagram) in these Rules is part of these Rules.
If these Rules include an example of the operation of a provision of these Rules:
(a) the example is not exhaustive, and
(b) the example does not limit, but may extend, the meaning of the provision.
*****
Rule 7 (Headings) of the Australian Road Rules has not been reproduced in these Rules because section 35 of the Interpretation Act 1987 makes provision for the status of headings in legislation of this jurisdiction.
A note in these Rules is explanatory and is not part of these Rules.
*****
Rule 9 (Reader’s Guide) of the Australian Road Rules has not been reproduced in these Rules because the Reader’s Guide to which that rule refers has not been included in these Rules. This rule has been left blank in order to preserve uniformity of numbering with the Australian Road Rules.
For the purposes of comparison, a number of provisions of these Rules contain bracketed notes in headings drawing attention (“cf RRR”) to equivalent or comparable (though not necessarily identical) provisions of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999 as in force immediately before the commencement of these Rules.
*****
Rule 10 (Offences) of the Australian Road Rules has not been reproduced in these Rules because it is unnecessary. This rule has been left blank in order to preserve uniformity of numbering with the Australian Road Rules.
These Rules indicate whether a contravention of a rule is an offence by the use of the words “penalty” or “maximum penalty” as appropriate—see rule 10–1 (4) and sections 17 (Penalty units) and 18 (Interpretation of provisions imposing penalties) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999.
Subject to this rule, Chapter 2 of the Criminal Code set out in the Schedule to the Criminal Code Act 1995 of the Commonwealth (the
Chapter 2 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code codifies the general principles of criminal responsibility.
An offence against these Rules is a strict liability offence for the purposes of Chapter 2 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code (as applied by subrule (1)), except where these Rules expressly provide otherwise.
Without limiting any defence under Chapter 2 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code (as applied by subrule (1)), a person is not liable to a penalty for any offence under these Rules if the person proves to the satisfaction of the court dealing with the case that the offence:
(a) was the result of an accident, or
(b) could not have been avoided by any reasonable efforts on the person’s part.
Nothing in these Rules affects the application of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 in relation to these Rules (particularly, Divisions 4 and 5 of Part 2 of that Act).
Divisions 4 and 5 of Part 2 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 contain provisions relating to how offence provisions are to be interpreted. For instance, section 17 of that Act defines the amount of a penalty unit. Similarly, section 18 of that Act sets out rules for interpreting provisions in legislation that impose penalties.
This rule is an additional NSW road rule. There is no corresponding rule in the Australian Road Rules. However, it is intended that each Australian jurisdiction that adopts the Australian Road Rules is to apply the provisions of the Commonwealth Criminal Code to offences against the uniform rules.
In this rule:
(a) a motor vehicle with a GVM over 12 tonnes, or
(b) a motor vehicle and trailer combination with a GCM over 12 tonnes.
(a) a coach, or
(b) a motor vehicle with a GVM over 4.5 tonnes, or
(c) a motor vehicle and trailer combination with a GCM over 4.5 tonnes.
A driver who commits a speeding offence in any of the circumstances referred to in subrule (3), (5) or (6) is:
(a) liable to the maximum penalty specified in this rule for an offence committed in those circumstances, and
(b) disqualified from holding a driver licence for the period specified in this rule for an offence committed in those circumstances.
A driver who commits a speeding offence by exceeding a speed limit by more than 45 kilometres per hour is:
(a) liable to a maximum penalty of 34 penalty units (in the case of a heavy motor vehicle or coach) or 23 penalty units (in any other case), and
(b) disqualified from holding a driver licence by a conviction for the offence (and without any specific order) for 6 months from holding a driver licence or, if the court on the conviction thinks fit to order a different period of disqualification determined in accordance with subrule (4), is disqualified for the period specified in the order.
In determining a different period of disqualification under subrule (3) for a driver who commits a speeding offence, the court may specify a period that is:
(a) more than 6 months, or
(b) less than 6 months, but only if:
(i) the person’s driver licence or authority to drive in New South Wales has been suspended for a period (
the suspension period ) under Division 4 of Part 7.4 of the Act for that offence, and(ii) the specified disqualification period when added to the suspension period results in a total period of no less than 6 months.
A driver who commits a speeding offence by exceeding a speed limit by more than 30 kilometres per hour is:
(a) liable to a maximum penalty of 20 penalty units, and
(b) disqualified from holding a driver licence by a conviction for the offence (and without any specific order) for 3 months from holding a driver licence or, if the court on the conviction thinks fit to order a longer period of disqualification, is disqualified for the period specified in the order.
A driver who commits a speeding offence by exceeding a speed limit by 30 kilometres per hour or less is liable to a maximum penalty of 20 penalty units.
If a driver is prosecuted under subrule (3) for a speeding offence in circumstances where the court:
(a) is satisfied that the person exceeded the relevant speed limit, but
(b) is not satisfied that it was exceeded by more than 45 kilometres per hour,
the court may instead convict the driver of an offence in accordance with subrule (5) if satisfied that the speed limit was exceeded by more than 30 kilometres per hour, or in accordance with subrule (6) if satisfied that the speed limit was exceeded by 30 kilometres per hour or less.
If a driver is prosecuted under subrule (5) for a speeding offence in circumstances where the court:
(a) is satisfied that the person exceeded the relevant speed limit, but
(b) is not satisfied that the speed limit was exceeded by more than 30 kilometres per hour,
the court may instead convict the driver of an offence in accordance with subrule (6).
A period of disqualification imposed by or under this rule commences on the date of conviction for the offence to which it relates.
This rule is an additional NSW road rule. There is no corresponding rule in the Australian Road Rules. However, the Australian Road Rules allow another law of this jurisdiction to make provision for penalties.

Part 20, Division 2 deals with the way in which a traffic sign applies to a length of road. Part 20, Division 3 deals with the way in which the traffic sign applies to drivers driving on the length of road.
Division 3 of Part 5.3 of the Act provides that a person bringing proceedings or issuing a penalty notice in which it is alleged that the driver of a heavy vehicle committed a speeding offence may rely on the average speed at which the vehicle travelled between different points on a road as evidence of the offence.
If there is more than one speed limit applicable to the driver between the different points, Division 3 of Part 5.3 of the Act provides that for the purposes of such proceedings the speed limit that applied to the driver between those points is taken to be the average speed limit calculated in accordance with that Division.
