Shared Zone

Shared Zone

A shared zone refers to a section of street in Australia where pedestrians, cyclists and motorised traffic share the same road space. Special rules and speed limits apply for shared zones.

Rules

For Motorists/Cyclists

* Motorists and cyclists must give way (yield) to pedestrians at all times throughout the entire zone, regardless of traffic signals, pedestrian crossing signals or other considerations.
* The typical speed limit of shared zones is 10 km/h (5 mph).

For Pedestrians

* Pedestrians have right-of-way over motorists/cyclists at all times, and normal crossing rules do not apply.
