Towing rules in South Australia
There are rules covering towing speeds, trailer brakes and safety chains, and they differ between states. Check the current requirements with your state road authority before you tow.
- Adelaide doesn't have the toll roads you find in Sydney or Melbourne, though it's still worth planning your route when towing.
- Wingfield and Hummock Hill are the main waste transfer stations. Check with the site or your local council about what they take and how to arrive before you go.
