Stick to the rules and don’t risk your life and the lives of others

Transport for NSW Chief of the Centre for Road Safety, Bernard Carlon, is reminding all road users to refresh their knowledge of the road rules as Road Rules Awareness Week kicks off this week.

“Road Rules Awareness Week runs from August 21 to August 27; we all have a shared responsibility to make our roads safer – understanding and following the road rules is a part of it. It can help save lives and prevent serious injuries,” Mr Carlon said.

“There are around 350 road rules in NSW, so this week is a great time for road users to refresh their knowledge of the rules.

“The roads are used for different purposes and in different ways by different road users, so whether you’re a driver, a cyclist or even a pedestrian - it’s a great time to make sure you understand how the road rules apply to you.”
