Solid and broken lines
Solid lines 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 must not be crossed. Exceptions: line 1.1 may be crossed to enter or leave a parking space, and line 1.2 to stop on the verge where stopping is permitted.
- Broken lines 1.5–1.8 may be crossed from either side
- Combined line 1.11: from the broken side, and also from the solid side when completing an overtake
Colours
Permanent markings are white, temporary ones orange. Yellow are:
- 1.4 solid yellow line: no stopping or parking
- 1.10 broken yellow line: no parking
- 1.17 yellow zigzag: public transport stop or taxi rank
- 1.26 yellow grid: intersection box
The 1.26 “box”
Don’t enter an area marked with 1.26 if a jam ahead would make you stop and block crossing traffic (except when turning right or left as permitted).
Stop line, give-way line, zebra
1.12 “Stop line” shows where to stop on a prohibiting signal or at sign 2.5. 1.13 shows where to stop, if necessary, and give way to traffic on the crossing road. 1.14.1–1.14.2 mark a pedestrian crossing.
What takes precedence
If markings conflict with a temporary sign on a portable stand, follow the sign. Temporary (orange) markings take precedence over permanent ones. Temporary signs take precedence over permanent signs.
Remember
- ✓ Solid: don’t cross; broken: may cross
- ✓ 1.4 yellow solid: no stopping; 1.10 yellow broken: no parking
- ✓ Orange temporary markings override white ones
Common mistakes
