sec.170 Stopping in or near an intersection

A driver must not stop at a place in an intersection unless— the driver is permitted to stop at the place under this regulation; or the intersection is a T-intersection without traffic lights and the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. 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 is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. However, subsection (2) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 20m from the nearest point. If a no stopping sign is installed 6m from the nearest point of an intersecting road to which subsection (2) would otherwise apply, it is not an offence against subsection (2) for a driver to stop within 20m, but more than 6m, from the nearest point. 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 at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies; and is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation; or if the intersection is a T-intersection—the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. However, subsection (4) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 10m from the nearest point. For this section, distances are measured— in the direction in which the driver is driving; and as shown in— for subsection (2) —example 1; or for subsection (4) —example 2. In this section— road does not include a road-related area, but includes any shoulder of the road.

(sec.170-ssec.4) 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 at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies; and is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation; or if the intersection is a T-intersection—the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. (sec.170-ssec.5) However, subsection (4) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 10m from the nearest point.
