170Stopping in or near intersection

170 Stopping in or near intersection (1) A driver must not stop in an intersection unless— (a) the driver is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation; or (b) the intersection is a T-intersection without traffic lights and the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

(2) A driver must not stop on a road within 20m 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 this regulation. (3) A driver must not stop on a road within 10m from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights, unless the driver stops— (a) 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 this regulation; or (b) if the intersection is a T-intersection—along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection. (4) For this section, distances are measured in the direction in which the driver is driving, and— (a) for subsection (2)—as shown in example 1; or (b) for subsection (3)—as shown in example 2.
