With plenty to explore in Capalaba, familiarise yourself with the local rules and driving conditions in Brisbane for a smooth and enjoyable journey in your car rental.
The road rules in Brisbane match the rest of Australia. Australians drive on the left side of the road and speed limits vary depending on the type of road and area. Residential zones usually have lower speed limits, while major roads and highways have higher limits.
The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for fully licensed drivers in Brisbane is 0.05 (the same as the rest of the country), and you aren’t allowed to use your phone while you’re driving. Not to mention, be sure to keep left unless overtaking on all multi-lane roads with a speed limit above 80km/h.
While you'll likely drive on well-maintained roads for the duration of your drive in Brisbane, road conditions are subject to change depending on weather and traffic conditions. Always be prepared for wet weather, especially during the summer months, and drive with caution during heavy rain.
As a major suburb in the Redland City area of Brisbane, peak hours in Capalaba coincide with typical commuter times. Expect increased traffic at these hours on Redland Bay Road, Old Cleaveland Road, Mount Cotton Road, and Moreton Bay Road. Plan your travels outside rush hours (7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6.30 pm) for a smoother drive, or consider alternate routes when necessary.
Yes, the Gateway Motorway (M1), Logan Motorway (M6), and Airport Link Tunnel, which you may encounter when driving in Brisbane, all have tolls.
You'll find plenty of parking options around Capalaba, including Capalaba Central Shopping Centre, Capalaba Park Shopping Centre, and retail areas around Redland Bay Road and Old Cleveland Road.
Capalaba has several petrol stations for conventional vehicles, including a BP and Caltex Woolworths, which are located on Redland Bay Road. EV chargers can be found at Capalaba Central Shopping Centre, however, it's advised you plan charging stops in advance with an app like PlugShare to locate EV chargers along your route.
The best way to explore Capalaba and Brisbane is by car. Public transport options, including buses and trains, connect the city centre with suburban areas and outer regions, but travel time to Brisbane's top attractions can take significantly longer without a car.
Plus, booking a hire car gives you the freedom to explore beyond Brisbane as you venture on epic day trips and weekend getaways to the Sunshine Coast or Byron Bay.
