174—Stopping on or near a bicycle crossing (except at an intersection)
(2) A driver must not
stop on a bicycle crossing or within 10 metres before the traffic lights
nearest to the driver at the bicycle crossing, and 3 metres after the 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—
A driver stops within a particular distance from traffic lights if the driver
stops so any part of the driver's vehicle is within that distance—see
rule 350(2).
(3) For this rule,
distances are measured—
(a) in
the direction in which the driver is driving; and
"bicycle crossing" means an area of road—
(a) with
bicycle crossing lights facing bicycle riders crossing the road; and
(b) with
traffic lights facing traffic travelling on the road; and
(c) that
is not at an intersection.
"road" does not include a road-related area, but includes any shoulder of the
road.
Note—
"Intersection", "parking control sign" and "traffic lights" are defined in the
dictionary, "road-related area" is defined in rule 13 and "shoulder" is
defined in rule 12.
