Back in 2020, there was a move to change the speed limit on several streets in the CBD due to reckless driving. Instead of 60 km/h, there are 13 streets in the city centre with a speed limit of 40 km/h. Be aware of the signage and pavement markings indicating these speed limits and stick to them. Standard city streets have a speed limit of 60 km/h, while streets in unbuilt areas typically have a speed limit of 110 km/h. There are certain highways further out with a speed limit of 130 km/h, and this increase will be indicated through signage. Certain schools will have their own speed limits, so be on the lookout for these signs.

You'll find both paid and free parking in and around Tamworth CBD. The CBD is home to close to 4,000 parking spaces that include both on-street and off-street parking.

There is also parking available in privately owned car parks, though these will usually cost much more than council parking.
