Question

Difficulty: EasyRoad Markings

At a road junction marked with a double broken white line across the carriageway (Give Way line), you are legally required to bring your vehicle to a complete stop even if the road is completely clear of traffic.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because transverse double broken white lines designate a Give Way junction. At these markings, you must give priority to traffic on the main road, but you are not legally required to stop if no other road users are present and the way is clear. A mandatory stop is only required at a single continuous solid white line paired with a 'STOP' sign.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the regulatory meaning of the road marking described in the statement
A double broken white line painted across a lane indicates a Give Way junction under the UK Highway Code.
Different transverse markings convey distinct legal obligations regarding priority and stopping at junctions.
2
Evaluate the driver's stopping obligation at this marking
Drivers must give way to traffic on the major road, but a complete stop is not mandatory if the road is clear.
Only a solid white line across the carriageway accompanied by a 'STOP' sign legally requires a complete standstill before crossing.

Key Concept

Give Way road markings require yielding priority rather than a mandatory complete stop.
