Ground traffic markings refer to signs with yellow backgrounds and white text laid on the road surface, primarily installed at both ends of one-way streets. The permitted direction is marked with 'One Way' and a large forward-pointing arrow; the prohibited direction displays 'No Motor Vehicles' along with a prominent no-entry symbol. This is an upgraded version of one-way traffic signs, designed to enhance road micro-circulation in narrow alleys and improve traffic capacity. Road traffic markings can be categorized into three functional types: Guide markings, indicating traffic lanes, driving directions, road edges, sidewalks, and other facilities; Prohibitive markings, announcing special regulations that must be obeyed, prohibiting or restricting road traffic, requiring strict compliance from drivers and pedestrians; Warning markings, alerting drivers and pedestrians to special road conditions, prompting vigilance and preparation for preventive or emergency measures. White dashed lines, when painted on road sections, separate same-direction traffic flows or serve as safe driving distance indicators; at intersections, they guide vehicle movement. White solid lines, on road sections, divide same-direction motorized and non-motorized traffic or mark lane edges; at intersections, they function as guide lane lines or stop lines. Yellow dashed lines separate opposing traffic flows when painted on road sections; when marked along curbs or kerbs, they prohibit long-term roadside parking. Yellow solid lines, on road sections, divide opposing traffic flows; when applied to curbs or kerbs, they forbid both long-term and temporary roadside parking.

How to Park Close to the Curb?
