Stopping on or near a children's crossing
171 Stopping on or near a children's crossing
A driver must not stop on a children's crossing, or on the road within 20 metres before the crossing and 10 metres after the crossing, 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 Children's crossing is defined in rule 80, and parking control sign is defined in the dictionary.
2 A driver stops within a particular distance from a children's crossing if the driver stops so any part of the driver's vehicle is within that distance – see rule 350(2).
For this rule, distances are measured:
in the direction in which the driver is driving; and
as shown in example 1 or 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.
Examples

1
