PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee MS/12, Road Signs and
Traffic Signals to supersede AS 1742.11 — 1989. It is one in a series of fourteen standards
which together form the Manual of uniform traffic control devices. The series comprises the
following Standards:
AS
1742 Manual of uniform traffic control devices
1742.1 General introduction and index of signs
1742.2 Traffic control devices for general use
1742.3 Traffic control devices for works on roads
1742.4 Speed controls
1742.5 Street name and community facility name signs

1742.6 Service and tourist signs for motorists


1742.7 Railway crossings
1742.8 Freeways
1742.9 Bicycle facilities
1742.10 Pedestrian control and protection
1742.11 Parking controls (this Standard)
1742.12 Bus, transit and truck lanes
1742.13 Local area traffic management
1742.14 Traffic signals
Principal variations from the 1989 edition are as follows:
(a) Deletion of detail on the layout of on-street parking areas and spaces. This is now
covered in AS 2890.5, Parking facilities, Part 5: On-street parking.
(b) Deletion of detail on sign coding for ordering purposes. A survey revealed that this was
not being used.
(c) Expansion of detail relating to the signposting and marking of clearways, the marking
of parking spaces for the disabled, and the provision of direction signs to parking areas.
(d) Inclusion of signs indicating ‘tow-away’ areas.
(e) A change in the shape of the arrowhead on linear parking control signs to improve
legibility.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

indicating areas of a road —
(a) available or reserved for parking;
This is a free 6 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

(b) where parking is restricted or prohibited; and


(c) where stopping is restricted or prohibited;
on a part-time or full-time basis by means of either linear or area parking control.
Guidance is given in appendices on the illumination and reflectorization of signs, on their
location and installation, and on how to design parking control signs.

1.2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS The following documents are referred to in this


Standard:

1.3 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions below apply.
1.3.1 Area parking control sign — the type of sign used to delineate an area where parking
control is by means of area signposting, i.e. by signposting the entries and exits rather than
by signposting individual lengths of kerb with linear parking control signs. (See Section 5).
1.3.2 Clearway — a continuous length of roadway along which stopping is restricted and
along which special enforcement provisions may apply.
1.3.3 Duration — the length of time in minutes or hours a vehicle is permitted to be parked
in a parking area.
1.3.4 Linear parking control sign — one or more Parking, Zone, No-stopping, No-parking
or Clearway panels displayed together to control parking along individual lengths of kerb,
or in the centre of the road, or at similar locations. (See Figure 1.1.)
1.3.5 No parking — a requirement similar to ‘no-stopping’ except that stops for short
periods are permitted for the purpose of taking up or setting down passengers or goods.
