Rules and responsibilities
Roads without marked lanes
Where there are no lane markings and
there are two or more lines of traffic
travelling in the same direction, you
may change from one line of traffic to
another if you signal, and if it is safe to
do so. However, you may only overtake
another vehicle on the left side when
it is turning right or if the vehicle is
stationary and it is safe to do so.

Road without
marked lanes
Special purpose lanes
Special purpose lanes include bicycle
lanes, bus lanes, transit lanes and tram
lanes. Signs and/or road markings
are used to set aside lanes for special
vehicles. If specified on the signs other
vehicles may use these lanes. Drivers
must keep out of these lanes during the
times marked on the signs or, if no time
is specified, at all times. However, you
may travel in these lanes for up to
100 metres (only up to 50 metres in a
bicycle lane or tram lane), only when
necessary to do so, to enter or leave
the road, or to avoid an obstruction or
turning vehicle.
You must give way before entering a
special purpose lane. Some examples
of special purpose lanes are shown on
pages 94-95.
Tram lanes
For trams and public buses only
(see Sharing the road with trams
on pages 138-140).
Bus lanes
For buses and other vehicles as
specified on a sign (see Sharing
the road with buses on page 141).
