Question

Difficulty: MediumRoad Markings

Two short yellow stripes painted on the kerb or edge of the carriageway indicate that loading and unloading of vehicles is prohibited at all times.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True, because two yellow stripes on the kerb indicate a continuous ban on loading and unloading at all times.
Under UK traffic regulations and the Highway Code, two short yellow stripes marked on the kerb signify that loading and unloading goods is prohibited at all times. A single yellow stripe indicates that loading restrictions apply only during specified times shown on nearby signage.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the specific road marking and its location
Two short yellow stripes painted on the kerb or carriageway edge
Kerb markings specifically convey loading and unloading regulations rather than general waiting or parking rules
2
Determine the legal restriction associated with two stripes versus a single stripe
Two stripes represent a continuous restriction (at all times), whereas a single stripe indicates restricted hours shown on a sign
The Highway Code distinguishes permanent prohibitions from timed prohibitions through the number of kerb stripes
3
Evaluate the accuracy of the statement
The statement correctly defines the meaning of two yellow kerb stripes
No loading or unloading is permitted at any time where two yellow kerb marks are present
