Clayton road rules and driving conditions
Here are the top Melbourne road rules and driving tips to know:
- - Side of the road: In Clayton and the rest of Australia, you need to drive on the left side of the road.
- - Speed limit: Speed limits are typically 60 km/h in residential areas and up to 100 km/h on highways.
- - BAC limit: Full licence drivers must not exceed 0.05% Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) while operating a vehicle.
- - Hook turns: Many intersections in Melbourne CBD do not have dedicated right turn lanes. So you'll need to do a hook turn instead.

- - Car seats: In Victoria, children under 7 years old must be seated in an appropriate child restraint for their age.
