Know the Road Markings 2
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Single Yellow Line: You cannot cross this line except while turning Right or taking a U-Turn.
Box Junction: A rectangular box with yellow crossed diagonal lines. Vehicles are not supposed to stop at this even for a brief period. Vehicles should cross it only if they have a clear space available ahead of the yellow box.
Stop Line: A single solid transverse line at the intersection. If the light signal is red or the traffic officer signals to ’Stop’ one is to stop the vehicle before this line.
Zebra Crossing: Alternate black and white stripes painted parallel to the road for pedestrians to cross the road when signals indicate so. Vehicles must stop and give way to pedestrians at these crossings. Pedestrian crossings are marked to facilitate and give the right of way to pedestrians.
