Drivers must understand the legal obligations and restrictions associated with different road and kerbside markings. Match each road marking with its correct legal meaning under the UK Highway Code.
- Two yellow stripes painted across the kerbNo loading or unloading is permitted at any time.
- White diagonal hatching bordered by a continuous solid white lineVehicles must not enter the marked area except in an emergency.
- Double solid white lines along the centre of the carriagewayCrossing or straddling is prohibited, with narrow exceptions such as passing a cyclist or horse travelling at 10 mph or less.
- Yellow zig-zag lines painted on the road alongside the kerb outside a school entranceStopping or parking is prohibited during the times shown on nearby signs, even to set down passengers.
Answer
Two yellow stripes on the kerb match 'No loading or unloading is permitted at any time'; White diagonal hatching with a continuous solid border matches 'Vehicles must not enter the marked area except in an emergency'; Double solid white lines match 'Crossing or straddling is prohibited, with narrow exceptions such as passing a cyclist or horse travelling at 10 mph or less'; Yellow zig-zag school lines match 'Stopping or parking is prohibited during the times shown on nearby signs, even to set down passengers'.
Each road marking conveys a specific legal obligation under the UK Highway Code: two yellow kerb stripes prohibit loading and unloading at all times; solid-bordered diagonal hatching legally bars entry except in emergencies; double solid centre lines prohibit crossing except to turn or overtake specific slow-moving road users (10 mph or less); and yellow zig-zag lines outside schools prohibit all stopping during operational hours.
