Parking Rules
Parking rules protect visibility, access and safety. Parking too close to intersections, crossings, bus stops or hydrants can create danger.
Key Rules
- Do not park on footpaths or areas meant for pedestrians.
- Keep a safe distance from intersections, pedestrian crossings, bus stops and hydrants.
- Always follow parking, no stopping and clearway signs.
- Park so you do not block visibility or access for other road users.
Common Mistakes
- Parking too close to an intersection.
- Stopping in a no stopping area thinking it is allowed for a short time.
Practical Example
You find a parking space near a pedestrian crossing. Before parking, check that there is enough distance so you do not block visibility.
Quick Check
- Why should you not park too close to intersections?
- Can you park on a footpath?
- What does a clearway sign mean?
