Before hitting the road in Sydney, familiarise yourself with Australian road rules and regulations. Remember that Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road, seatbelts must be worn at all times and pay attention to speed limits and other road signs to ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
If you're driving in regional areas, be aware that animals and wildlife can wander onto the roads. Be sure to drive to the speed limit and do not swerve suddenly, as this can cause cars to roll off the road. Plus, full-license drivers in NSW have a legal BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) limit of under 0.05.

Are there toll roads around Artarmon?
There are a number of toll roads that cut through Artarmon, including the M2 Hills Motorway (a 21km toll road connecting the Lane Cove Tunnel with the Westlink M7 toll road). Make sure that your rental car is fitted out with an e-tag prior to departure, as this is the only way to pay for the toll roads during your travels.
