AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 172

172—Stopping on or near a pedestrian crossing (except at an intersection)

        (1)         A driver must not stop on a pedestrian crossing that is not at an intersection, or on the road within 20 metres before the crossing and 10 metres after the crossing, 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—

"Intersection" and "parking control sign" are defined in the dictionary, and "pedestrian crossing" is defined in rule 81.

Note 2—

A driver stops within a particular distance from a crossing if the driver stops so any part of the driver's vehicle is within that distance—see rule 350(2).

        (2)         For this rule, distances are measured—

            (a)         in the direction in which the driver is driving; and

            (b)         as shown in the example.

        (3)         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.
