Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road, so if you are a pedestrian it is important to remember to look to the right before stepping off the kerb. If you are driving yourself, everyone in the car (including children) must wear a seatbelt. The general speed limit is 60 kilometres-per-hour in the city and suburbs, although there are 40kph and 50kph areas in many suburban streets - especially near schools. The speed limit outside the metropolitan area is 100kph on normal country roads and 110kph on freeways.
