The rules for driving in Australia are different to the rules in other countries, and they’re very strictly enforced. This article is a basic primer to driving in Australia for overseas visitors. If you want to drive in Australia – you’ll need to drive on the left hand side. Australia’s parking signs are similar to those in other English speaking countries. Speed limits, parking zones, and turning restrictions are all signposted. The closer you are to the centre of the city (the Central Business District, or CBD) the more restricted parking will be, and the lower the speed limit.
