What are the drawing method and dimensions of no-stopping grid lines?
2 Answers
The standard dimensions for road marking no-stopping grids generally have a line width of 40cm. The area calculation is based on the actual length of the lines drawn, meaning the area can be obtained by multiplying the length by the width of the lines. For example, drawing N meters * 40cm line width equals the area. No-stopping grid lines usually refer to yellow grid lines, which are primarily used to mark areas where parking is prohibited for any reason. In simpler terms, vehicles cannot park in this area because the grid lines are typically located near intersections or the entrances/exits of important facilities. Additional information is as follows: 1. Overview: These traffic markings are mainly installed at the entrances and exits of hospitals, schools, and institutions in urban areas to ensure that vehicles can enter and exit without being blocked by parked vehicles, thus preventing lane congestion. 2. Others: According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' and the Ministry of Public Security's regulations on motor vehicle demerit points, drivers who stop their vehicles on yellow grid lines will be fined and penalized with 3 demerit points.
As an experienced driver, I've seen many no-stopping grid lines, usually at intersections or busy traffic areas. They're painted with bright yellow paint, starting with a large square border made of solid lines about 15 cm wide, roughly the width of a finger. Inside the border, diagonal lines are crossed to form a grid pattern, typically measuring 1.2 meters in length and width. This size is just right—not too dense or too sparse—designed to be clearly visible from a distance, warning drivers not to stop here to avoid fines or traffic congestion. Once, I mistakenly parked in the city center and got a ticket, so I advise new drivers to pay attention to road signs to avoid similar mistakes. Remember, you can only briefly stop in these areas where passing is allowed, like when waiting at a red light with wheels still moving—never turn off the engine and occupy the spot!
