AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 170

170—Stopping in or near an intersection

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

            (a)         the driver is permitted to stop at that place under the Australian 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.

Offence provision.

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 Australian Road Rules .

Offence provision.

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 Australian Road Rules ; or

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

Offence provision.

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.
