ROAD SAFETY ROAD RULES 2009 (SR NO 94 OF 2009) - REG 190

Stopping in or near a safety zone

    (1)     A driver must not stop in a safety zone, or on a road within 10 metres before or after a safety zone, 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.

Penalty:     3 penalty units.

Notes

1     Parking control sign is defined in the dictionary, and safety zone is defined in rule 162.

2     A driver stops within a particular distance before or after something if the driver stops so any part of the vehicle is within that distance—see rule 350(2).

    (2)     For this rule, distances are measured—

        (a)     in the direction in which the driver is driving; and

        (b)     from the end of the structure; and

        (c)     as shown in the example.

    (3)     In this rule—

"road" does not include a road related area, but includes any shoulder of the road.

Note

Road related area is defined in rule 13, and shoulder is defined in rule 12.
