Keeping left
Road Rules: Keeping left on NSW roads.
The NSW Centre for Road Safety is a very good resource for Learner drivers.
On multi-lane roads with a speed limit of more than 80km/h, motorists must not drive in the right-hand lane unless they are:
- overtaking
- turning right or making a U-turn
- avoiding an obstacle
- driving in congested traffic
- driving in a special purpose lane or if there is a Left Lane Must Turn Left sign or a left traffic arrow and the driver is not turning left
If a Keep Left Unless Overtaking sign is displayed, the requirement applies regardless of the speed limit.
The animated video explains Keeping left on NSW roads.
