2.1 REGULATORY CONTROL
The regulatory control of parking is exercised in one of the following ways:
(a) By Road Rules Certain locations at which stopping or parking are either permitted or prohibited are prescribed in the Road Rules. These requirements can be reinforced by linear parking control signs, e.g. provision of No-stopping signs in the vicinity of a school crossing.
(b) By signpos:ing Control at any location may be exercised by use of either linear or area parking control signs. In the former case the control is applied to specific lengths of kerb or roadway edge, and in the latter, to an area such as a car park or a defined network of streets. Linear parking control signs may also be used either to override statutory requirements or to modify area control requirements at specific kerbside locations.
(c) By pavement markings Control may be exercised by use of pavement markings in the form of a longitudinal line adjacent to the kerb or roadway edge to indicate a permanent stopping prohibition. Such a usage needs to be supported by the Road Rules.
NOTE: Road Rules applying in each state and territory prohibit the slopping of vehicles at various types of location, generally to assist the safe and efficient operation of the road. Signs are used to advise of these restrictions only where the absence of signs is likely to lead to misunderstanding. Elsewhere, unrestricted parking or stopping is generally permitted and the Road Rules generally require parking control signs or area parking control signs to be erected if parking or stopping restrictions are to apply. Pavement markings may be used to complement the Road Rules and signs, and to allow the proper management of parking areas.
