Where not to park your vehicle:

• on the right-hand side of the road with your vehicle facing the oncoming traffic;
• in a “No Stopping” zone. “No Stopping” means a vehicle may NOT stop or park on the street for any purpose;
• in a “No Parking” zone, stopping is permitted. Where signs indicate “No Parking”, a vehicle may stop to pick up or set down passengers or goods only and must drive on within two minutes of stopping. The driver MUST remain with the vehicle at all times.;
• on a dividing strip, nature strip, painted island, footpath, bicycle path or shared path;
• across or within a passage, thoroughfare, entrance driveway or foot-crossing;

• double-parked;
• Within 10 metres from an intersection without traffic lights;
• parking is permitted within a T-intersection along the continuous side of the continuing road at the intersection as shown below, unless a parking sign indicates otherwise;

• at a bus stop, or on the road, within 20 metres before a sign on the road that indicates the bus stop, and 10 metres after the sign;
• so that any part of the vehicle overhangs any line marking or marked parking bay;
• anywhere other than a marked bay, if in a car-park with marked parking bays;
• on a crest or curve;

Parallel Parking

You MUST park:

• in-line with, and as close as practicable to, the kerb;
• entirely within any marked bays;
• at least one metre from any vehicle in front and behind.
• The recommended distance from the kerb is 30 cms.

Parking – minimum distances from other vehicles and dividing strip

If a road has a continuous dividing line or dividing strip you must position the vehicle at least 3 metres from any dividing line or dividing strip, unless information on a parking control sign indicates otherwise.

If the road does not have a continuous dividing line or dividing strip, you must position the vehicle, so there is at least 3 metres of road alongside the vehicle that is clear for other vehicles to pass, unless information on a parking control sign indicates otherwise.
