Just like other road users, cyclists are required to comply with the Road Safety Road Rules 2009.
Cyclists who do not comply with the Road Rules may be issued with a Traffic Infringement Penalty. The amount of this penalty relates to the offence committed.These offences and fines are set out in the Road Safety (General) Regulations 2009 and outlined in the Table of Cyclists Fines [PDF, 25KB, 3pp]
The fines are based on the Penalty Units which is a dollar amount that is currently set at $116.82.
For example, cyclists are expected to stop at red traffic lights, just like motor vehicles. Cyclists who do not stop at red traffic signals will be issued with a Traffic Infringement Notice to the same value as a motorist, ie 2.5 penalty units or $292.
