RTA NSW: From Dec08, No Standing becomes No Stopping! (1 Viewer)

[seremify007]

I just happened to stumble upon this on the RTA website..

From 1 December 2008 all ‘No Standing’ zones will become ‘No Stopping’ zones

NSW parking laws are changing from 1 December 2008. To bring our system into line with the Australian Road Rules, all ‘No Standing’ zones are being removed. ‘No Standing’ zones will become ‘No Stopping’ zones.
This means that even in instances where the sign has not yet been changed, the rules for ‘No Stopping’ apply and a $189 fine will be incurred for any violation.
‘No Parking’ and ‘Loading Zone’ rules remain unchanged.

'No Stopping' = You may not stop your vehicle for any reason.
'No Parking' = You may not stop for longer than 2 minutes and only to drop off or pick up passengers or goods (i.e. you must remain within 3 metres of your vehicle).

Thats gonna screw the airport here for a while. Unless they can get the signs changed quickly. The entire pickup/drop off zone is no standing. About 15-20 "No Standing" signs.

National road rule, AS contractural requirement, hence the change.

Slowly things change. . . .
