Victorian Numbered Regulations Victorian Numbered Regulations(1) A driver must not stop in an intersection unless—
(a) the driver is permitted to stop at that place under these 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: 3 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 these Rules.
Penalty: 3 penalty units.
Notes
1 Parking control sign and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary.
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 these Rules; or
(b) if the intersection is a T-intersection—along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection.
Penalty: 3 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.
