From 1 July, this rule (Road Rule 79A) will be expanded to include more vehicles like accident towing, breakdown towing, roadside assistance and all incident response services.

That means when you see flashing lights (red, blue, magenta or yellow) and workers on the roadside, you must slow down to 40km/h and pass safely.
