On a Gold Coast road with a clearway sign, you must not stop at all during the days and times shown on the sign, except a bus or taxi dropping off or picking up passengers. If the City has impounded your vehicle, you have one month to reclaim it, and the City’s 2026-27 fees list $749 to release a motor vehicle plus $24 for each day it is stored.
