Which instrument do councils use to regulate stopping and parking on urban roads within their powers and while respecting general traffic rules?

Correct answer

Municipal by-laws within the applicable legal framework.

Municipal by-laws. Article 156 of the General Traffic Regulations governs that power, while article 151.3 prevents by-laws from conflicting with, altering, distorting or causing confusion with the regulations. Traffic Law also applies, including article 39.4. Councils may develop local rules but cannot freely choose rules contrary to general traffic requirements.
