What Do Road Traffic Markings Mean?
1 Answers
Road traffic markings include warning signs and directional signs. Warning signs are yellow in color, serving to warn or prohibit, while directional signs are white, providing guidance. The specific explanations are as follows: Warning Signs: Double Yellow Solid Line: Mostly found in the middle of the road, it can be considered as a wall, prohibiting vehicles from crossing the double yellow line. Double Yellow Dashed Line: Mostly located in the middle of the road, particularly at intersections, used to remind drivers that they can overtake or make a U-turn along the line if road conditions permit. Double Yellow Imaginary Line: Composed of a solid line and a dashed line. Vehicles can turn from the dashed side to the solid side but not from the solid side to the dashed side. Single Yellow Solid Line: If located in the middle of the road, it primarily serves to divide lanes. If the yellow solid line is on the roadside, its main purpose is to prohibit parking along the line. Directional Signs: Left Turn, Straight, Right Turn: Informs drivers about the lane conditions. Diamond Pattern Indicator Line: Reminds drivers to slow down. Rectangular Indicator Line Near Bus Stops: Reminds drivers not to park online. Double Dotted Diamond Pattern: Alerts drivers to road conditions, allowing overtaking across the line when conditions permit.
