Traffic rules in QLD

We couldn't find traffic rules in the QLD Transport Department when we got our driver licenses, but it is important to know it because it maybe different to US and Taiwan. We certainly don't want to violate any traffic rule. I think that many Australia drivers are very aggressive especially to pedestrian, but maybe because the rules are different to the ones in US.

Here they are.

1. Queensland road rules

All drivers need to know our road rules. They are actively enforced to avoid safety risks.
These basic road rules always apply:

You must give way to the right at unsigned cross intersections.
You must abide by traffic signs, lights and road markings.
You must obey the speed limit.
A STOP sign means that all wheels of your vehicle must come to a complete halt.
You cannot make a U-turn at a set of traffic lights, unless a sign states you can.
