Just like other road users, cyclists are required to comply with the Road Safety (Road Rules) Regulations 1999.
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 1999 and outlined in the attached “.pdf” file. The fines are based on the "Penalty Unit" which is a dollar amount that is currently set at $110.12.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 penalty units or $220.Table of Cyclists Fines [PDF, 41KB, 2 pp]
