sec.205 Parking for longer than indicated
A driver must not park continuously on a length of road, or in an area, to which a permissive parking sign applies for longer than— the period indicated by information on or with the sign; or if section 206 applies to the driver—the period permitted under that section. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. If a permissive parking sign does not indicate a period and does not indicate that it applies at particular times, or at particular times on particular days, a driver may, at any time, park continuously on a length of road, or in an area, to which the sign applies, unless— another parking control sign applies to the length of road or area; and the driver is prohibited from parking on the length of road, or in the area, under this regulation. For subsection (1) , a driver parks continuously on a length of road, or in an area, to which a permissive parking sign applies from the time when the driver parks on the length of road or in the area until the driver or another driver moves the vehicle off the length of road or out of the area.
