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.
