Road RulesHere are our own collection of relevant rules from other sites. A Tasmanian Guide to the Australian Road Rules - from Tasmanian Government Department of Energy, Infrastructure and Resources (Main Roads). Hasn't got much detail, and 'The Law' links at the end are very difficult to wade through unless you really know what you're after. - Two abreast riding for bicyclists, motorcyclists and animal riders in single lanes is now legal on Tasmanian roads.
- Cyclists must ride in bicycle lanes where these are provided on a roadway, unless it is impracticable to do so.
- Bicycle riders in the far left-hand lane of a roundabout with two or more lanes must give way to any vehicle leaving the roundabout.
