They apply to everyone governed by the Road Rules 2019 — for example drivers, road users and enforcement agencies.

It will change the legal framework governing conduct on public roads and therefore affects drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, road transport operators and enforcement agencies.\n\nBecause the extract lacks the substantive amendment text, the specific changes aren’t available here — but any amendments may alter legal duties and attract different fines, demerit points or enforcement outcomes."},"kimi_summary":{"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This is a standard amendment instrument with no indication of scope creep.
