What are the two parallel white solid lines at an intersection?
1 Answers
Two parallel white solid lines at an intersection are stop lines, indicating that vehicles should stop and yield to vehicles on the main road at this intersection. Stop lines are usually used together with stop signs to remind drivers passing through intersections with stop lines that they must stop or slow down and observe the traffic conditions on the main road. In addition to parallel solid lines, intersections may also have parallel dashed lines, which are introduced as follows: If two white dashed lines appear at an intersection, they are a type of warning line, specifically called "yield lines." This type of traffic line is generally found at intersections with good visibility, as vehicles passing through without slowing down can easily cause traffic accidents.
