Bus Zones

  • If times of operation are shown on the sign, the restriction only applies during the times shown.
Double Parking

Double Parking

  • Drivers are not permitted to stop or park between the centre of the road and another vehicle that is parked at the side of the road.
  • Double parking decreases visibility for motorists and pedestrians, and significantly reduces road safety around schools.

You cannot stop or park your vehicle:

Within 10m of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights (20m with traffic lights), unless a sign states you can park there.

Within 20m before and 10m after a bus stop.

Parallel Parking

This is the usual way to park unless signs tell you otherwise. You must park in the same direction as the adjacent traffic and parallel and as close as possible to the kerb.

You can NOT park across driveways or pedestrian kerb ramps. A vehicle can be parked up to the wings on the driveway or ramp.

You should park at least one metre from any other parked vehicle and entirely within any marked parking lines where provided.
