Already on 18 August, I was asked for an opinion on the proposed changes to the 2014 (NSW) road traffic rules. The Minister of Urban Roads, the Minister of Regional Transportation and Roads, and the commissioners of rural fire and state rescue service announced with great fanfare that there would be changes. see also New South Wales government`s ADO rule change gives green light to emergency services The announcement of the changes was made on August 18. We were told: “The change in traffic rules will be published and will come into force in the coming weeks.” It has now been 4 and a half weeks since the announcement was made. For those who are eager to see the changes, or even more dangerous for those who believe that there have been changes, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the proposed changes are still not available to the public and that there has been no change in the law. Article 317 deals with “information on or with traffic control equipment” has never been amended (see legal notes). Today, it is the same as when the rules were first invoked in 2014. Road Rules 2014 (NSW) – See Level 3 legislation The objectives of these road rules are: (a) to consolidate the road rules applicable in New South Wales into a single instrument and (b) to provide for road rules based on the Australian road traffic rules to ensure that the road rules applicable in that state are substantially identical to those applicable elsewhere in Australia; and (c) providing for other road traffic rules to be observed in that State in respect of matters not otherwise dealt with in the Australian Traffic Rules. NB.

This legislation is currently to be automatically repealed on 1 September 2020 under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989. Relevant compliance frameworks Laws, standards and codes may be linked to one or more university compliance frameworks, either as drivers of requirements or as part of the framework. The relevant frameworks are listed below. Road Rules 2014 (NSW) – Level 3 Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW) – Level 3 My correspondent asked “. What do you think of the changes to Highway Rule 317 regarding volunteers turning around in designated U-turn bays on highways? If you`ve eaten while driving, applied makeup or watched a movie/TV show, or climbed on your knees, you`ve probably broken some of NSW`s unknown traffic rules. Of these, the most common dangerous driving habit is eating a meal while driving, with 44% of Australian drivers admitting this behaviour. However, this comes with a fine of $464 and 3 demerit points, as it is classified as “driving without proper vehicle control”. 20. Do not keep left on a motorway (or a road with a speed limit of 80 km/h or more) unless the overtaking rules remain unchanged.

The most recent amendments to the Highway Traffic Act 2014 (NSW) were made by the Road Transport (National Heavy Vehicle Regulator) Amendment (National Heavy Vehicle Regulator) Regulations 2022 on 28 July 2022. Nothing has changed since the August 18, 2022 announcement mentioned above. I said I couldn`t have an opinion until I saw the changes. I can conclude that the proposals all relate to the outcome of R. v. Wells (see Court of Appeal dismisses appeal by RFS tanker driver involved in fatal collision (October 13, 2017) and all other contributions cited therein). I suspect my opinion will be that the proposed rule changes are due to a misunderstanding of what was decided in Wells and what the implications of that decision are or should be (see RFS`s response to the victim`s conviction for a fatal road accident, 13 October 2016). But I could be wrong and I can`t comment on the changes until we know what they are, and that`s where my view lies in making this post. 9.
