Rural Fire Service and State Emergency Service vehicles will now be able to legally make U-turns in marked bays, the same as other first responder drivers across the state.
It comes after the NSW government announced an amendment to Road Rule 317, which will streamline emergency response vehicle rules on major motorways. "This important amendment makes it clear that all emergency service workers, whether it be police, paramedics, Fire and Rescue NSW, RFS or SES, are legally allowed to use U-turn bays, which puts other drivers on notice to give way," said Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway.All emergency service vehicles will be allowed to legally make U-turns after an amendment to the Road Rule 317.
