Match each UK road marking to its correct legal meaning or driving rule.
- Double solid white lines along the centre of the roadYou must not cross or straddle the line unless turning right or overtaking a stationary vehicle, pedal cycle, horse, or road maintenance vehicle travelling at 10 mph or less
- Yellow criss-cross grid painted across a junctionYou must not enter the box unless your exit is clear, unless turning right and prevented only by oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead waiting to turn right
- Broken white line with long painted dashes and short gaps in the centre of the roadHazard warning line indicating that a hazard, bend, or junction is ahead
- Single yellow line painted along the edge of the carriagewayWaiting restrictions apply during the specific times shown on the nearby roadside plate
Answer
Double solid white lines match with the rule prohibiting crossing or straddling except under specific slow-speed overtaking or turning conditions; Yellow criss-cross grid matches with the prohibition on entering unless the exit is clear (except when turning right); Broken white line with long dashes and short gaps matches with the hazard warning line; Single yellow line matches with waiting restrictions operating during times shown on nearby plates.
Each road marking corresponds precisely to its Highway Code definition: double solid white lines enforce strict anti-straddling rules with limited exceptions; yellow box junctions prohibit entry without a clear exit except when turning right; elongated centre line dashes denote hazard warning lines; and single yellow kerb lines indicate timed waiting restrictions displayed on companion roadside plates.
