What does the triangular filled area mean?
2 Answers
Triangular filled area refers to the channelizing line. Below is a partial introduction about the triangular filled area: Definition: It primarily consists of one or several white V-shaped lines or diagonal lines set according to the terrain of the intersection, indicating that vehicles must drive along the prescribed route and are not allowed to cross or drive over the lines. It is mainly used for wide, irregular, or complex intersections with challenging driving conditions. The purpose is to ensure that every vehicle can "stay in its lane," serving to regulate, guide, and warn traffic. Traffic regulations: According to Articles 38 and 44 of the Traffic Law, channelizing lines are a type of prohibited marking. Vehicles must drive along the prescribed route and are not allowed to cross or drive over the lines, nor are they permitted to make U-turns or park arbitrarily within the channelizing line area. Violations may result in a penalty of 3 demerit points for the driver.
The triangular filler area on a car usually refers to the sealant-filled parts around the windshield or windows, especially in the triangular corners of the body, ensuring the glass is fixed and waterproof. Having driven for over a decade, I once experienced water leakage in the backseat after rain, which was caused by aging and cracking sealant in this area. Upon inspection, hardened or cracked filler in the corners allowed water to seep in quietly, not only wetting the interior but also causing rust. After washing the car, simply touch this area—if it feels moderately soft, it's fine; otherwise, head to a repair shop for resealing immediately. Though small, it's crucial. Older cars are prone to neglect, so a monthly check is recommended to maintain sealing and avoid trouble.
