ROAD TRAFFIC CODE 2000 - REG 108

108 .         Obstruction of vehicles and pedestrians

        (1)         A person must not, with intent to hinder or obstruct the passage of any vehicle or vehicles on a carriageway, park or stop a vehicle on the carriageway in such a manner as to cause the passage of any other vehicle on the carriageway to be obstructed or hindered.

        (2)         A driver must not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian.

        (3)         In subregulation (2), a driver does not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian only because —

            (a)         the driver is stopped in traffic; or

            (b)         the driver is driving more slowly than other vehicles (unless the driver is driving abnormally slowly in the circumstances).

        Example of a driver driving abnormally slowly

        A driver driving at a speed of 20 km/h on a length of carriageway to which a speed‑limit of 80 km/h applies when there is no reason for the driver to drive at that speed on the length of carriageway.
