How to Understand Road Markings?
1 Answers
Introduction to road markings is as follows: 1. Diamond-shaped markings: Diamond-shaped markings often appear in front of pedestrian crossings. This marking indicates that there is a pedestrian crossing ahead. When you see this marking, you should slow down and be prepared for pedestrians who may appear on the crossing at any time. 2. Inverted triangle markings: Inverted triangle markings often appear in front of two parallel dashed lines. This marking means you should slow down and yield, generally to pedestrians. If caught by surveillance not yielding, you may face fines and penalty points. 3. Channelizing lines: These markings are very common on highways, serving as directional indicators at highway intersections. When you see these, you should follow the designated route, and it is prohibited to drive over the channelizing lines. 4. Longitudinal deceleration markings: These markings are not very common, with horizontal deceleration markings being more typical. They often appear at turns, signaling that you should begin to slow down. 5. Combination of solid and dashed lines: These markings are usually found in tunnels, reminding drivers not to overtake and to slow down. Therefore, when you see these markings, you should follow the rules. 6. Yellow solid and dashed lines: These are quite common on two-way roads. The main meaning is that you cannot cross the solid line side, but you may temporarily cross the dashed line side. It is important to strictly adhere to these markings.
