Our Road Rules
Before you get in the car you'll need to know and understand the road rules. These rules are about keeping people safe - motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists.
To help share these rules, the Department of State Growth have developed a video journey. These videos are to help drivers, especially those new to it, understand the Tasmanian road rules.
We're sharing some below to help you get across them.
