Tasmanian Consolidated Regulations Tasmanian Consolidated Regulations
(1) If a driver is driving in a marked lane at an intersection (except a roundabout) and there are traffic lane arrows applying to the lane, the driver must –
(a) if the arrows indicate a single direction – drive in that direction; or
(b) if the arrows indicate 2 or more directions – drive in one of those directions.
Penalty: Fine not exceeding 10 penalty units.
Note 1: Marked lane and traffic lane arrows are defined in the dictionary.
Note 2: Part 9 deals with traffic lane arrows at roundabouts.
Note 3: Rule 329 explains when a traffic control device applies to a marked lane.
(2) However, this rule does not apply to a driver if the arrows indicate a direction to the right (whether or not they also indicate another direction) and the driver is making a U-turn at the intersection.
Note: Rules 40 and 41 deal with making a U-turn at an intersection. If there are traffic lights at the intersection, the driver may make a U-turn only if there is a U-turn permitted sign at the intersection. If there are no traffic lights at the intersection, the driver may make a U-turn unless there is a no U-turn sign at the intersection. |
