Stopping on or near a pedestrian crossing (except at an intersection)
172 Stopping on or near a pedestrian crossing (except at an intersection)
A driver must not stop on a pedestrian crossing that is not at an intersection, 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 Intersection and
parking control sign are defined in the dictionary, and
pedestrian crossing is defined in rule 81.
2 A driver stops within a particular distance from a 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 the example.
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.
