Road markings Flashcards
This is a two-way street. What do the broken lines indicate?
These lanes are multipurpose: both multitrack and single track vehicles may use them (cars must always give priority to cyclists).
The broken line indicates that drivers may overtake by invading the lane of oncoming traffic.
Can the orange car overtake the yellow one in this two-way road?
No.
A solid (continuous) line means that overtaken is forbidden.
The driver in the orange car notices that the line segments to their left are getting shorter just before turning into a solid (continuous line). What does this mean?
A change from long to shorter line segments serves as a warning that the remaining space for overtaking is about to run out.
What does the double-solid line mean?
Crossing the double-solid line is by no means permissible. No overtaking.
Is the orange car allowed to overtake the yellow car on this two-way road?
Yes.
A broken line indicates that overtaking is allowed. However, in this case it is only allowed for the traffic flowing in the direction of these two cars, since the broken line is on their side. Oncoming traffic as a solid line, so they are not allowed to overtake.
What does a red surface mean?
Driving or stopping a motor vehicle on these surfaces is not allowed.
What does the white line, close to the Stop sign, on the road mean?
Stop at the line, not where the sign is located.
What does the broken line, close to the Yield sign, mean?
Stop at the broken line, before the intersection, not where the Yield sign is.
Be sure to stop close enough to the line so as to have adequate visibility for crossing
What do the solid lines on these lane mean?
Solid lines tell us that we may not switch lanes.
If we are accidentally in the wrong lane, we can’t change: no turning left from the middle lane, obligatory left turn if you are on the left lane.
What do these lines represent?
Pedestrian crossing: give way when pedestrians reach the kerb, not when they are barely approaching it.
According to the law, the pedestrian must indicate the intention of crossing the road. If they stop at the corner to take pictures, you don’t have to give way.
What do these lines mean?
Bicycle crossing
According to the law, cyclists must cross roads at a max speed of 10km/h - but many don’t!
As a driver, you must look for cyclists approaching a bicycle crossing because they don’t stop.
What do the yellow zigzag lines indicate?
What do the blue lines indicate?
Yellow zig-zag: no parking, but you can pull-over to wait for somebody (i.e. standing/holding is allowed)
Blue markings: district limit for parking
What does a solid yellow line on the kerb?
Solid yellow line - no parking!
When it snows, the line might be covered. Always check before leaving the car.
What does the yellow broken line mean?
Pulling over, holding/standing, loading and off-loading allowed, NO PARKING.
No max time restriction as long as you are actively coming and going to the car for loading and off-loading.
