190 Stopping in or near a safety zone

(1) A driver must not stop in a safety zone, or on a road within 10 metres before or after a safety zone, 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, and safety zone is defined in rule 162.

Note 2: A driver stops within a particular distance before or after something if the driver stops so any part of the vehicle is within that distance—see rule 350(2).

(2) For this rule, distances are measured: (a) in the direction in which the driver is driving; and (b) from the end of the structure; and (c) as shown in the example. (3) 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.
