What it means
What does the t2 transit lane sign mean in NSW?
TRANSIT LANE heads our tall white plate, then a red rounded panel carries a white T2, and the hours 6-10 AM and MON-FRI sit underneath. During those times the lane is for vehicles with at least two people inside, and the driver counts as one. A solo driver may use it only for the final 100 metres before a turn, or to get onto or off the road.
What to do
- 1
Count heads: you plus one passenger qualifies.
- 2
Driving alone, merge in no earlier than 100 metres before your turn.
- 3
Check the hours printed on the plate; outside them anyone may use it.

Common questions
- Can I use a T2 lane on my own to turn left?
- Yes, but only for up to 100 metres before the turn. Further back than that, stay out until you are close enough.
- Does the driver count in a T2 lane?
- Yes. The number on the sign is the minimum number of people in the vehicle, and that includes whoever is driving.
