Road markings

a solid line that separates traffic flows in opposite directions (centre line), marks the boundaries of lanes at dangerous places on the road, marks the edges of the carriageway where entry is prohibited, and marks the boundaries of parking spaces;

a solid line (edge line) that marks the edge of the carriageway and of the central reservation;

on roads with four or more lanes, separates traffic flows in opposite directions (centre lines);

a solid yellow line that marks places where stopping and parking are prohibited. It is used on its own or with sign 3.27 “No stopping” and is painted at the edge of the carriageway (instead of the edge line, if there is one) or on top of the kerb;

a broken line that separates traffic flows in opposite directions on roads with two or three lanes (centre line), and marks lane boundaries on roads with two or more lanes in one direction;

“approach line” — a broken line warning of an approaching 1.1 or 1.11 marking that separates traffic flows in opposite or the same directions (each dash is three times as long as the gap between dashes);

a broken line marking lanes within an intersection (dashes and gaps are of equal length);

a wide broken line marking the boundary between the main carriageway and an acceleration or deceleration lane;

a broken (reversible) line marking the boundaries of lanes with reversible traffic control; when the reversible traffic lights are off, it separates traffic flows in opposite directions;

a broken yellow line that marks places where parking is prohibited. It is used on its own or with sign 3.28 “No parking” and is painted at the edge of the carriageway (instead of the edge line, if there is one) or on top of the kerb;

a combination of a solid and a broken line, which:

“Stop line” — a solid line showing where the driver must stop when there is a prohibiting signal of a traffic light (controller) or sign 2.5 “Stop”, and before a level crossing when crossing is prohibited;

shows where the driver must stop, if necessary, and give way to vehicles on the intersecting road;

“Zebra” — marks a pedestrian crossing. The arrows of marking 1.14.2 show the direction in which pedestrians move;

broken lines marking where a cycle path crosses the carriageway;

mark traffic islands:

a solid yellow zigzag line that marks public transport stops and, where sign 5.18 “Taxi rank” is installed, taxi ranks;

shows the permitted directions of travel at an intersection by lane. It is used on its own or with signs 5.15.1 “Lane directions” and 5.15.2 “Lane direction”. A marking showing a dead end means that turning onto the nearest carriageway is prohibited. A marking permitting a left turn from the leftmost lane also permits a U-turn;

warns of an approaching:

warns of an approaching 1.13 marking;

the inscription “STOP” — warns of an approaching 1.12 marking when it is used with sign 2.5 “Stop”;

shows the road (route) number;

marks a special lane for public transport vehicles;

duplicate road signs 1.20.2 “Road narrows”, 3.24 “Maximum speed limit” and 8.17 “Disabled people” respectively, and are used together with them;

duplicates plate 8.4.3.1; used on its own or together with plate 8.4.3.1;

marks artificial bumps on the carriageway; used with sign 5.20 “Speed bump”;

(yellow) marks a section of an intersection that must not be entered if there is a traffic jam ahead in the direction of travel that would force the driver to stop and block vehicles moving across on the intersecting road, except when turning right or left as provided for in these Rules. It is used on its own or with sign 1.35 “Intersection area”.

elements of road structures (bridge and overpass supports, the ends of parapets, etc.) where they pose a danger to moving vehicles;

the lower edge of the spans of tunnels, bridges and overpasses;

round bollards on central reservations and traffic islands;

guide posts, delineators, barrier posts, etc.;

the side surfaces of road barriers on small-radius bends, steep descents and other dangerous sections;

the side surfaces of road barriers on other sections;

kerbs and raised traffic islands on dangerous sections.
