Rules:

• Line up at starting line on the shoulder in departure number order. Stay off the travelled part of the roadway.
• Ride to the right as you would when normally using the road. 
• Respect the rights of other road users. Allow plenty of room when passing pedestrians or other cyclists.
• When passing another TT participant, abide by traffic laws pertaining to passing another road user. Do not pass to the right. Maintain a speed sufficient to get clear of the other participant.
• When being passed by another TT participant, you must allow a two bike length gap to be created before you make an attempt to catch and pass that participant unless you were already accelerating (as happens when approaching the finish line).
• Do not ride with your head down.
• Do not draft motor vehicles.

Procedural Rules:

• (For Open TTs only) warming up on the course after the count down commences is forbidden. Warm up to the west of the start line. Failure to observe this rule will result in disqualification.
• Leave personal gear at the starting line.
• Planned rolling starts are prohibited. If a rider unintentionally misses the allocated start time, a rolling start may be permitted at the discretion of the timekeeper.
• The penalty for a rolling start will be a minimum of five seconds. The rider's elapsed time will be measured from the allocated start time or 5 seconds before the rolling start time whichever is earlier.
• No drafting is allowed.
• Call out your number loud and clear two times or more as you approach and cross the finish line. If another rider is crossing the finishing line just ahead of you, allow him or her to call his or her number first so the correct finishing sequence can be recorded.
• Ride through the finish line and continue riding in the same direction so as not to interfere with riders finishing behind.
• If you have belongings to pick up, make your U-turn at least 100 metres beyond the finish line.
• To avoid congestion on the Highway, return to the parking lot after the time trial to await results. Do not go back onto the course. This will result in your disqualification.
