174 Stopping at or near bicycle crossing lights (except at an intersection)

(1) This rule applies to a place on a road: (a) with bicycle crossing lights facing bicycle riders crossing the road; and (b) with traffic lights facing traffic travelling on the road; and (c) that is not at an intersection.

Note: Bicycle crossing lights, intersection and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary.

(2) A driver must not stop within 10 metres before the traffic lights nearest to the driver at the place, and 3 metres after the 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.

Note 1: Parking control sign is defined in the dictionary.

Note 2: A driver stops within a particular distance from traffic lights if the driver stops so any part of the driver’s vehicle is within that distance—see rule 350(2).

(3) For this rule, distances are measured: (a) in the direction in which the driver is driving; and (b) as shown in the example. (4) 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.
