AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 335
335—Traffic control devices applying to an area
(1) A traffic control
device (except a road marking) applies to an area if—
(b) the
device, the position of the device, or information on or with the device,
indicates that the device applies to the area.
Note 1—
"Road marking" and "with" are defined in the dictionary.
Note 2—
Rule 332 deals with parking control signs that display arrows. These signs
apply to lengths of road.
(2) A traffic control
device (except a road marking) also applies to an area if—
(a)
there is an identical kind of traffic control device (the "first traffic
control device") on each road into the area; and
(b) the
traffic control device is a traffic control device applying to an area, or
information on or with the device indicates that it applies to an area; and
(c)
information on or with a traffic control device on each road out of the area
indicates that the first traffic control device no longer applies or that the
area has ended.
Examples of traffic control devices applying to an area—
1 A school zone sign
(in some circumstances—see rule 23).
3 A no stopping sign
or no parking sign with the word "area".
4 A permissive parking
sign with the words "parking area".
5 An end no parking
area sign.
6 An end no stopping
area sign.
(3) A road marking
applies to an area if—
(a) it
is on the surface of the area; and
(b) the
road marking, the position of the road marking, or information in or with the
road marking, indicates that the road marking applies to the area.
(4) However, a traffic
control device does not apply to an area if information on or with the device
expressly indicates that the device does not apply to the area.
(5) A parking control
sign that applies to an area applies to parking bays on each length of road in
the area, and to other parts of each length of road, as if it were a parking
control sign that applied only to that length of road.
Note 1—
"Parking bay" and "parking control sign" are defined in the dictionary.
Note 2—
Rule 334 sets out how a parking control sign that applies to a length of road
also applies to parking bays and other parts of the road.
"road", in subrule (2)(a) and (c) and for an area of road, does not include a
road-related area.
"the device", in subrule (1)(b), includes another traffic control device.
"the road marking", in subrule (3)(b), includes another traffic control
device.
Note—
"Road-related area" is defined in rule 13.
