170 Stopping in or near an intersection

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

(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—

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

(2) A driver must not stop on a road within 20m from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection with traffic lights, unless the driver—

(a) stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies; and

(b) is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation.

Penalty—

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

(3) However, subsection (2) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 20m from the nearest point.

(ii) is permitted to stop at that place under this regulation; or

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

Penalty—

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

(5) However, subsection (4) does not apply if a no stopping sign is installed within 10m from the nearest point.

(i) for subsection (2) —example 1; or
