Road Rules for Bicycles

In New South Wales, bicycle riders must adhere to specific road rules to ensure safety and harmony on the roads. Cyclists are required to wear an approved helmet, use bike lanes where available, and follow the same road rules as other vehicles, including stopping at red lights and stop signs. Additionally, cyclists can ride two abreast but no more than 1.5 meters apart and must give hand signals when turning. AMEND
