You intend to park your vehicle on a road marked with a single continuous yellow line along the kerb. How can you determine when the waiting restrictions apply?

  1. A
    By assuming that stopping and waiting are strictly prohibited 24 hours a day
  2. By checking the operating times and days shown on the nearby roadside signplateAnswer
  3. C
    By assuming parking is allowed at any time as long as hazard warning lights remain switched on
  4. D
    By looking for circular warning signs located at the nearest road junction

Answer

By checking the operating times and days shown on the nearby roadside signplate
Under Highway Code Rule 238, a single yellow line means waiting restrictions apply at particular times. Drivers must inspect the accompanying upright roadside signplate to confirm the exact hours and days during which waiting is prohibited.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the road marking and its legal category under Highway Code Rule 238
A single continuous yellow line alongside the kerb indicates part-time waiting restrictions.
Unlike double yellow lines which apply at all times unless signed otherwise, single yellow lines operate only during specific hours.
2
Locate the corresponding upright roadside information signplate
The signplate specifies the exact days and hours during which waiting is prohibited.
Without checking the signplate, a driver cannot know whether waiting is currently lawful or restricted.

Key Concept

Single yellow lines denote part-time waiting restrictions defined by the accompanying upright information plate.
