"Road" is defined in rule 12,
"road related area" is defined in rule 13,
"road user" is defined in rule 14, and
"vehicle" is defined in rule 15.

(2) Each reference in these Rules (except in this Division) to a
"road" includes a reference to a
"road related area" , unless otherwise expressly stated in these Rules.

Examples for subrule (2) :

1 A reference in rule 146 (which deals with driving within a single marked lane or line of traffic) to the road includes a reference to the road related area of the road.

2 A reference in rule 200(1) (which deals with certain heavy or long vehicles stopping on roads) to a length of road includes a reference to the road related area of the length of road.

3 A reference in rule 31 (which deals with starting a right turn from a road, except a multi-lane road) to a road does not include a reference to a road related area, because of the definition in subrule (5) of that rule.
