172 Stopping on or near a pedestrian crossing (except at an intersection)
(1) 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 these Rules.
1 Intersection and parking control sign are defined in the dictionary. 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).
