driving in the NT guide - Northern Territory Government

When on the road, ask yourself:
Is the driver on the left-hand side of the road?
Is everyone wearing a seat belt?
Is the driver yawning, tired or experiencing blurred vision?
If yes, pull off the road and rest.
Is it time to share the driving and let the driver rest for a while?
Are passengers alert and watching for animals both on and beside
the road?
Before you exit a sealed road, is the vehicle suitable to drive on
an unsealed road?
Has four wheel drive been engaged?
Additional safety tips:
Continue to check road conditions daily during your trip because
conditions can change quickly.
Check your fuel, radiator, battery and tyre pressure daily.
If your car breaks down, always stay with your vehicle.

A four wheel drive road should not
be entered unless you are driving a
4WD vehicle. Always advise a friend
where you are planning to go and
when you expect to return. Surfaces
on these roads are extremely
variable and you may encounter
very difficult and dangerous driving
conditions. It is important that you
are familiar with the type of vehicle
and aware of its limitations.
Ensure that the 4WD function has
been engaged.

roads. During wet weather some
gravel roads may require a
4WD vehicle especially at creek/
stream crossings.
Dust on unsealed roads may
obscure your vision and conceal
ruts and potholes. You should
reduce your speed when driving
in these conditions.
During wet weather, postpone your
trip on unsealed roads until the road
surface has stabilised. Always take
care when overtaking and turn your
lights on to increase your visibility
to other drivers.

Driving Tips for
Different Road Types
Sealed roads are accessible
by all vehicle types and are well
signposted. Road surfaces are
smooth but the shoulders on
roads may be soft, so care
should be taken.
Reduce speed before nearing the
road edge and be cautious of edge
drop offs and loose stones.
Sealed roads can also be prone
to flooding, so always check road
conditions on the toll free number
1800 246 199 or visit
www.roadreport.nt.gov.au.
Before exiting a sealed road, be sure
that your vehicle suits the new road
conditions.
If you are not experienced in outback
driving, it is advisable to stay on the
sealed road.

Train Signs
Trains are a part of life in the
Northern Territory, so always
expect a train at a railway crossing.
Trains can’t stop quickly and have
the right of way over cars and
pedestrians. Remember to obey all
signs and signals, be extra careful
at night and check there is enough
space on the other side before you
cross the railway line.

Warning signs are to alert drivers

are usually yellow and diamond
shaped. When you see one of
these signs or a similar shaped
yellow sign you should slow down
and take extra care.
A speed zone is shown by a

in the circle is the maximum speed

Road Hazards
Wet Season (October to May) Alcohol and Drugs
Railway Crossings
Driving Around Towns
If you want to stop
to take photographs
or have a break from
driving, do not stop
on the roadway. Park
your vehicle well off the
roadway where it will
not be a danger to you
and other traffic.
Road trains are common in the NT
and can have three trailers and
be over 50 metres long and 2.5
metres wide. It can take up to 2.5
kilometres to overtake a road train
at 100km/h. Therefore when you
overtake you need to be able to
see at least one kilometre of clear
road ahead. Also allow plenty of
room before you overtake as they
may sway from side to side.
Four wheel drive
vehicles are designed
for both on and off road
conditions. They handle
very differently to a
normal car. They have
a high centre of gravity
and can be affected by
wind caused by passing
vehicles. Be careful
not to overload the roof
rack.
Bushfire smoke and many
different animals can be road
hazards (kangaroos, dingos,
buffaloes, horses). Animals
are most active at sunrise,
sunset or at night. If you
encounter a road hazard you
should slow down and sound
your horn but do not swerve
around them as this can
lead to losing control of your
vehicle and the possibility that
it may roll over.
During this time of year roads
can be prone to flash flooding
resulting in many roads being
closed. You should always
check road conditions daily
before travelling.
Drinking alcohol
before or while
driving can
have serious
consequences. The
legal blood alcohol
content for drivers
is 0.05%. Mixing
drugs with other
drugs or with alcohol
can seriously affect
your health and your
ability to drive safely.
There are severe
penalties for drivers
caught drink or drug
driving.
There are over 200
level rail crossings
in the NT. Some
crossings have boom
gates and some have
flashing lights. When
required, you should
look both ways, listen
and give way to any
trains approaching
on the railway line,
before proceeding to
cross the track.
The default speed limit in
built up areas is either
50km/hr or 60km/hr unless
sign posted otherwise.
Roads close to schools may
have reduced speed limits
which apply on school days
between the hours indicated
on the sign. You should
be aware of these speed
limits and slow down to the
speed on the sign. Some
intersections have yellow
flashing warning lights.
When you see the yellow
warning lights flashing,
prepare to stop. Speed and
red lights cameras exist
throughout the NT.

Road Sense
I conducenti che non sono
abituati a percorrere lunghe
distanze in temperature
elevate risentiranno della
cosiddetta fatica del
guidatore. Come regola
generale dovreste fare
una sosta di 15 minuti ogni
due ore di guida. Quando
vi fermate, scendete dal
veicolo, fate quattro passi,
bevete dell’acqua e, se
possibile, datevi il turno al
volante.
Pianificate il vostro viaggio
in modo da includere queste
soste periodiche e prendete
anche in considerazioni il
fatto che potreste guidare
contro sole.
I conducenti sono
incoraggiati a servirsi delle
aree di riposo chiaramente
contrassegnate lungo le
principali strade.
Buon senso sulla
strada
If you are being overtaken,
maintain your speed, don’t move
off the road and only slow down
when the road train moves out to
pass.
The NT has many single lane or
narrow roads. When approaching
a road train on a single lane
road or an unsealed road, slow
down then gradually move off the
road and drive slowly along the
shoulder until it is clear to move
back onto the road.

Guida fuoristrada
Pericoli sulla strada
I veicoli 4WD sono in
grado di viaggiare sia su
strada che fuoristrada.
E richiedono tecniche
di guida diverse da
quelle di un’autovettura
normale. Hanno un
baricentro alto e
possono risentire del
vento causato dai
veicoli in transito.
Fate attenzione a
non sovraccaricare il
portapacchi sul tetto.
Molti sono gli animali che
possono rappresentare un
pericolo sulla strada (canguri,
dingo, bufali, cavalli selvatici).
Questi sono più attivi all’alba,
al tramonto e di sera. Se
incontrate un pericolo sulla
strada, dovete rallentare,
suonare il clacson ma non
compiere manovre brusche
per evitarlo, in quanto ciò
potrebbe farvi perdere il
controllo del veicolo ed
eventualmente capottare.
Se avete intenzione di
guidare un fuoristrada
(4WD) per la prima

Il normale limite di velocità
nelle aree edificate è di
50km/h o di 60km/h, salva
diversa indicazione sulla
segnaletica stradale. Le
strade in prossimità delle
scuole potrebbero essere
soggette a limiti di velocità
ridotti che valgono nei giorni
di frequenza della scuola,
durante gli orari indicati
sull’apposita segnaletica.
Dovete fare attenzione
a tali limiti di velocità e
rallentare fino ad osservare
la velocità indicata sulla
segnaletica. Alcuni incroci
hanno semafori che
lampeggiano giallo. Quando
vedete lampeggiare il giallo,
preparatevi a fermarvi.
Autovelox e telecamere ai
semafori sono operative in
tutto il Northern Territory.
Fahren im Stadtverkehr
Die zulässige
Höchstgeschwindigkeit in
geschlossenen Ortschaften
beträgt entweder 50
km/h oder 60 km/h. Auf
Strassen in der Nähe von
Schulen kann die zulässige
Höchstgeschwindigkeit geringer
sein und gilt an Schultagen
zu den auf Verkehrszeichen
ausgewiesenen Zeiten.
Sie müssen diese
Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkung
beachten und Ihre Fahrt auf
die dem Verkehrszeichen
ausgewiesene Geschwindigkeit
verringern. An einigen
Kreuzungen befinden sich
gelbe Warnblinklichter.
Wenn Sie eines dieser
gelbe Warnblinklichter
sehen, müssen Sie ihre
Geschwindigkeit verringern
um anhalten zu können. Die
Geschwindikeitseinhaltung
und Verhalten an Ampeln
werden im Gesamtbereich des
Nordterritoriums mit Kameras
kontrolliert.
