What is a Fishbone Lane Marking?
1 Answers
Fishbone lane marking is a new type of traffic sign designed to visually give drivers the impression that the lane is gradually narrowing. Its primary purpose is to remind drivers to slow down and also to indicate that the section of road is a high-risk accident area, requiring drivers to reduce speed in advance and pay attention to the surrounding traffic conditions. There are two types of fishbone lane markings: one with a dashed line in the middle and another with a solid line in the middle. The fishbone lane marking with a dashed line in the middle allows lane changes, similar to the dashed yellow lines on roads; whereas the fishbone lane marking with a solid line in the middle does not permit lane changes.
