Painted yellow edge lines
If you fail to obey the requirements for continuous or broken yellow edge lines when parking, you will receive an infringement.
Continuous yellow edge lines
Yellow edge lines have been part of Victoria’s Road Rules since 1999 and have the same meaning as 'No Stopping' signs (Road Rule 169).
A driver must not stop at the side of a road marked with a continuous yellow edge line.
Broken yellow edge lines
These may be used in some areas to alert drivers to important part-time parking prohibitions (eg 'No Stopping' at school times near children's crossings). Drivers should check the parking signs before parking next to a broken yellow edge line.
The following appeals would not be considered valid reasons for withdrawal of parking infringements:
- I didn't realise what the yellow line meant.
- I only stopped for a moment.
