Division 3Stopping at intersections and crossings#

170Stopping in or near an intersection#

1. (1)A driver must not stop at a place in an intersection unless—

1. (a)the driver is permitted to stop at the place under this regulation; or
2. (b)the intersection is a T-intersection without traffic lights and the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

1. (2)A driver must not stop on a road within 20m from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection with traffic lights, unless the driver—

1. (a)stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies; and
2. (b)is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

1. (3)However, subsection (2) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 20m from the nearest point.

1. (4)A driver must not stop on a road within 10m from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights, unless—
2. (a)the driver—
3. (i)stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies; and
4. (ii)is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation; or
5. (b)if the intersection is a T-intersection—the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

1. (5)However, subsection (4) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 10m from the nearest point.
2. (6)For this section, distances are measured—
3. (a)in the direction in which the driver is driving; and
4. (b)as shown in—
5. (i)for subsection (2)—example 1; or
6. (ii)for subsection (4)—example 2.
7. (7)In this section—

171Stopping on or near a children’s crossing#

1. (1)A driver driving along a road must not—
2. (a)stop on a children’s crossing on the road; or
3. (b)stop on the road within 20m before a children’s crossing or 10m after a children’s crossing, unless the driver—
4. (i)stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies; and
5. (ii)is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

1. (2)For this section, distances are measured—
2. (a)in the direction in which the driver is driving; and
3. (b)as shown in example 1 or 2.
4. (3)In this section—
