It would be unfortunate if your trip to Adelaide for the Australian MotoGP ended with an unexpected fine. To help you enjoy race weekend at the Adelaide Street Circuit without unnecessary complications, here is a practical overview of the main traffic rules in South Australia.
In Australia, vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road. Overtaking is done on the right.
Speed limits in South Australia are strictly enforced and clearly signposted.
Always follow posted signs, as limits may change frequently near roadworks or event zones.
Drivers must comply with all traffic lights, road signs and lane markings.
Adelaide and South Australia use speed cameras and red-light cameras, particularly at major intersections and busy roads. Temporary traffic management may also be in place during major events.
South Australia applies strict drink-driving laws.
Random breath testing is common, especially during large public events.
Seat belts are compulsory for all occupants.
Children must use approved child restraints appropriate to their age and size. Police conduct regular checks, and fines apply for non-compliance.
