  7. Australian Road Rules 1999 Road related area includes: an area that is not a road and that is open to or used by the public for driving, riding or parking vehicles. This differs from the Road Traffic Act; any public place that is not a road and on which a vehicle may be driven, whether or not it is lawful to drive a vehicle there.

  8. In the Rules, a reference to a road generally includes road-related areas. If a particular rule does not apply to road-related areas, or applies only to road-related areas, this will be stated in the rule. The speed-limit applying to a driver for a length of road to which a speed-limit sign applies is the number of kilometres per hour indicated by the number on the sign.

  9. If a speed-limit sign does not apply to a length of road and the length of road is not in a speed- limited area, school zone or shared zone, the speed-limit applying to a driver for the length of road is the default speed-limit. 50 in a built up area. 100 for any other length of road.

  10. A speed-limit sign on a road applies to the length of road beginning at the sign and ending at the nearest of the following: (a) a speed-limit sign on the road with a different number on the sign; (b) an end speed-limit sign or speed derestriction sign on the road; (c) if the road ends at a T-intersection or dead end—the end of the road.
