Stopping and parking

You must move as far to the right as possible when stopping on a road.

When stopping on a rural road or highway you must be 30 m (98 ft.) away from any vehicle stopped on the opposite side of the road or highway.

Vehicles stopped on rural roads or highways at night must be marked with flares, hazard lights or reflectors. You must not tamper with the devices used to mark stopped vehicles.

Always come to a complete stop at all stop signs and at railway crossings where signals or gates are activated. After stopping, only proceed from a stop sign, or a railway crossing without gates, when it’s safe to do so. You must also stop when signaled to by a police officer or a flagperson.

If there are painted curbs or signs that prohibit parking please follow them and park somewhere else.

Be considerate of others and your own safety. If you must stop in your lane (possibly due to heavy traffic) always stop behind the crosswalk, before entering an intersection or before a railway crossing so you don’t obstruct pedestrians or other traffic.
