(1)  A driver must not stop in an intersection unless –

(a) the driver is permitted to stop at that place under the Road Rules ; or

(b) the intersection is a T-intersection without traffic lights and the driver stops along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

Penalty: Fine not exceeding 5 penalty units.

Note : Continuing road , intersection and T-intersection are defined in the dictionary.

(2)  A driver must not stop on a road within 20 metres from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection with traffic lights, 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 the Road Rules .

Penalty: Fine not exceeding 5 penalty units.

Note 1 : Parking control sign and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary.

Note 2 : A driver stops within a particular distance from an intersection if the driver stops so any part of the driver’s vehicle is within that distance – see rule 350(2) .

(3)  A driver must not stop on a road within 10 metres from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights, unless the driver stops –

(a) 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 the Road Rules ; or

(b) if the intersection is a T-intersection – along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.

Penalty: Fine not exceeding 5 penalty units.

Note : Continuing road and T-intersection are defined in the dictionary.

(4)  For this rule, distances are measured in the direction in which the driver is driving, and –

(a) for subrule (2) – as shown in example 1; or

(b) for subrule (3) – as shown in example 2.

(5)  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 .
