174  Stopping at or near bicycle crossing lights (except at an intersection)
 (1) This rule applies to a place on a 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.
Note: Bicycle crossing lights, intersection and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary.
 (2) A driver must not stop within 10 metres before the traffic lights nearest to the driver at the place, 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 1: Parking control sign is defined in the dictionary.
Note 2: 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
 (b) as shown in the example.
 (4) 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.
