4 Definitions: the dictionary, &c.
(1) The dictionary towards the end of the Road Rules defines certain words and expressions, and includes references to certain words and expressions defined elsewhere in the Rules (signpost definitions).
Example 1
The signpost definition "road-related area see rule 13" means that the expression road-related area is defined in rule 13 of the Road Rules.
Note 1
The dictionary only includes a signpost definition for a word or expression if the word or expression is used in 2 or more rules of the Road Rules.
(2) The dictionary is part of the Road Rules.
(3) A definition in the Road Rules applies to each use of the word or expression in the Rules, unless the contrary intention appears.
