Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Road rules

With no speed signs in sight, what tells you that you are in a built-up area in the ACT?

The answer

  • Houses and streetlights Correct
  • The presence of a footpath on one side
  • Nothing - you must look up the street name
  • A 'Welcome' sign at the suburb boundary

Why that's the answer

The handbook says houses and streetlights, in the absence of speed signs, denote a built-up area where the 50 km/h default applies.
