Top tips for hiring a car in North Lakes
Hiring a car in North Lakes comes with its own rules and things to be aware of. Here are the top tips you should keep in mind for a smooth trip.
Brisbane road rules and driving conditions
Driving side: You need to drive on the left-hand side in Brisbane, and the same applies to the rest of Australia.
BAC limit: Brisbane follows a strict blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05 for fully licensed drivers.
Child car seats: Children under seven years of age must be secured in a properly fastened and adjusted child restraint or booster seat.
Speed limit: Speed limits on Brisbane roads are usually clearly signposted. In areas without signs, the default speed limit is 50 km/h in built-up zones and 100 km/h in rural zones. You should adjust your speed to suit different road conditions and weather, especially when you're in rural areas that may have wildlife crossings.
Weather conditions: North Lakes and Brisbane have a subtropical climate, which means that it's usually pleasant and warm most of the year. However, flash flooding does happen in the area during the wet season between November and April each year. Always stay updated with the latest weather conditions by checking the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology website.
Animals on the road: It's unlikely that you'll see animals on North Lakes roads. But if you head to rural parts of Queensland, you might encounter native wildlife like kangaroos. Avoid serving suddenly if you see an animal on the road and slow down safely till you come to a stop.
Road conditions: Roads in North Lakes and the Brisbane metropolitan area are usually sealed and in good condition. However, if you venture out to more rural parts of Queensland, expect gravel or dirt roads if you're off the main roads. This is especially common along the smaller roads leading to natural attractions.
North Lakes's rush hour and busiest roads
North Lakes is a bustling residential suburb with a vibrant community, so expect the roads to get a little congested during the morning and evening rush hour. Try to avoid venturing out during these periods if you don't want to be sitting in a jam. The busiest roads include the Bruce Highway, Diamond Jubilee Way, and Discovery Drive.
Are there toll roads around North Lakes?
Yes, there are toll roads around the North Lakes and Brisbane area. You can check the Linkt website to find out which roads require you to pay a toll to use. Don't forget to set your navigation system to avoid toll roads if you don't want to use them.
