This could be a risky habit of yours.

You're driving along and spot a sign for a higher speed limit ahead. When are you allowed to speed up — before you reach it, or after you've passed it?

React with your answer and we'll be back soon with what the road rules say.

RAA website has great tools to brush up on your road rules

Roundabouts, wombat crossings, slip lanes, school zones... there are lots of ways in SA for drivers to interact with pedestrians and other vulnerable road users on the road. Do you know all the rules?

We've built an interactive guide covering 16 of these real-world situations you'll come across on the road. Click through to learn what applies where (including the new time-based school speed limits popping up around Adelaide).

We see it every day: someone puts their foot down to get past a slower vehicle. But does the law actually allow it?

We've got a red car, a green car, a blue car and a pedestrian that have all arrived at the same intersection.

⚠️If you were the pedestrian crossing Orchard Ave here, what would you do? Would you wait for all the traffic to clear, or cross before the cars?

Here's how the road rules play out: both the red and green cars are required to give way to the pedestrian, while the blue car technically isn't, though it does have to give way to green. Even though pedestrians have priority for half the crossing distance, we’d suggest the safest approach in a busy scenario like this is to wait until all the traffic has cleared before stepping out.

What's been your experience as a pedestrian? In which situations have you noticed motorists do or don’t give way? Let us know in the comments

Song's about to drop, you spot a park... and you turn the volume down. Sound familiar? 🤔

Turns out there's a reason for it. Driving keeps your brain busy (braking, steering, scanning for hazards) so cutting the noise helps it focus. Research from Monash University backs this up, showing drivers instinctively lower the volume to avoid sensory overload.

Good news: you don't need total silence. Keep it at a reasonable level and you'll still hear sirens and warning chimes while staying switched on.

Every South Australian knows one (or multiple). An intersection or road that feels unsafe. Could be a dodgy pothole, poor sight lines, roads that make you feel unsafe or are difficult to cross.

Drop yours in the comments, we're curious how many of us are avoiding the same spots.

We use this feedback to help build the case for change. If it's something you think genuinely needs fixing, head to our Report a Road page and let us know the details, it's one of the ways we advocate for better roads on behalf of members and the wider SA community.
