Correct answer
Yes, following pedestrian rules and precautions.
Yes, subject to the precautions and rules applying to pedestrians. The Traffic Act treats a person with a disability travelling at walking pace in a wheelchair, with or without a motor, as a pedestrian. Without a usable pedestrian area, they may use the shoulder or otherwise the carriageway, keeping as far from traffic as possible. This does not authorise travel on roads where pedestrians are prohibited.
