3 Road transport legislation—Australian Road Rules

For section 7 of the National Transport Commission Act 2003 (the NTC Act), Schedule 1 sets out road transport legislation, in the form of Rules, about the rules to be followed by all road users.

Note 1: The road transport legislation set out in Schedule 1 does not have the force of law (see paragraph 7(2)(a) of the NTC Act).

Note 2: These Regulations must be made in accordance with the Agreement (see subparagraph 3(b)(ii) of the NTC Act).

Note 3: These Regulations are not subject to disallowance—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 44(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003.

Note 4: These Regulations are not subject to sunsetting—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 54(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003.

Note 5: The proposed Australian Road Rules were prepared in the form of Regulations to be made under the Road Transport Reform (Vehicles and Traffic) Act 1993, and were approved in that form by the Ministerial Council for Road Transport on 29 January and 30 June 1999 and by the Australian Transport Council on 11 October 1999, but were never actually made as Regulations. The text set out in Schedule 1 is that of the proposed Rules as approved by the Council. It has been reformatted somewhat but is otherwise unaltered.
