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. 

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.
