What Do the Markings on the Highway Mean?
1 Answers
Highways have lane division lines, deceleration markings, distance confirmation lines, and diversion lines. Below are detailed explanations of these markings: Lane Division Lines: White dashed lines are lane division lines. If the markings are dashed, vehicles can cross them to overtake. Deceleration Markings: These usually appear at toll booths, ramps, or areas requiring reduced speed. They come in forms of single, double, or triple dashed lines to remind drivers to slow down and avoid rear-end collisions. Distance Confirmation Lines: These are thick white parallel solid lines on highways, used in conjunction with distance confirmation signs. They are placed in areas prone to overtaking, accidents, or other necessary sections. Their purpose is to remind drivers to maintain a safe following distance when they see these markings. Diversion Lines: These are V-shaped white markings. Once a vehicle enters this area, it must not change lanes arbitrarily or drive over or across the lines.
