Road rules

Roadways and parking areas within the University of Sydney are "Roads & Road-Related Areas" for the purposes of the Australian Road Rules and the NSW Road Transport (Safety & Traffic Management) Act 1999. This means drivers are required to observe the rules as they would on any public street. The law therefore requires that, on the University campuses, seat belts must be worn, safety helmets must be worn and local speed limits observed.

The grounds and roadways of the University of Sydney are also controlled by "Resolutions of Senate" enacted under the University of Sydney Act. These Resolutions are published in the University Calendar. In addition, the Enclosed Lands Protection Act is relevant in the management of access for persons and vehicles.
