High-speed zigzag lines are called longitudinal speed bumps. The following is an introduction to the longitudinal deceleration markings on the carriageway and their functions: Longitudinal deceleration markings on the carriageway: The longitudinal deceleration markings on the carriageway consist of a set of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane dividing line. At the starting position of the longitudinal deceleration markings, a 30-meter transition section is set up, where the diamond-shaped dashed lines gradually widen from 10 cm to 30 cm. This is one of the newly added markings in the latest national standard for road traffic markings (GB5768.2-2009). Function of longitudinal deceleration markings on the carriageway: When vehicles pass through sections with longitudinal deceleration markings, drivers will visually perceive the lane gradually narrowing, which reminds them to stay alert, take active deceleration measures, and proceed slowly. This can effectively prevent drivers from slamming on the brakes abruptly when approaching the stop line.
