Traffic Regulations, Schedule 3 - Australian Road Rules 1999

A driver must not stop in an intersection unless:

the driver is permitted to stop at that place under the

Australian Road Rules; or

the intersection is a T-intersection without traffic lights and the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

Offence provision.

Note

Continuing road,

dictionary.

A driver must not stop on a road within 20 metres from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection with traffic lights, unless the driver stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies and the driver is permitted to stop at that place under the Australian Road Rules.

Offence provision.

Notes

1 Parking control sign and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary.

2 A driver stops within a particular distance from an intersection if the driver stops so any

part of the driver's vehicle is within that distance – see rule 350(2).

A driver must not stop on a road within 10 metres from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights, unless the driver stops:

at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies and the driver is permitted to stop at that place under the Australian Road Rules; or

if the intersection is a T-intersection – along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

Offence provision.

Note

Continuing road and

T-intersection are defined in the dictionary.

For this rule, distances are measured in the direction in which the driver is driving, and:

for subrule (2) – as shown in example 1; or

for subrule (3) – as shown in example 2.

In this rule:

road does not include a road-related area, but includes any shoulder of the road.

Note

Road-related area is defined in rule 13, and shoulder is defined in rule 12.
