Zorluk: OrtaRoad Markings

Road markings communicate vital legal rules, warnings, and priority instructions on UK roads. Which regulatory meaning and required driver action correctly matches each road marking?

  • Curved white arrow pointing towards the left painted in a laneAdvises overtaking traffic to return to the left-hand lane ahead of an upcoming hazard or solid line
  • Area marked with white chevrons bounded by continuous solid white linesProhibits entry into the marked area except in a genuine emergency
  • White letters spelling 'KEEP CLEAR' painted across a laneInstructs drivers to avoid blocking a junction or entrance when queuing in heavy traffic
  • Single solid red line painted along the kerb or edge of the roadProhibits stopping, parking, or loading during controlled operational hours on a designated red route

Cevap

The curved arrow matches the advice to return to the left lane; the chevrons bounded by solid lines match the prohibition on entry except in an emergency; the 'KEEP CLEAR' text matches leaving a gap to prevent blocking a junction; and the single red line matches no stopping, parking, or loading during operational hours on a red route.
Each road marking has a specific legal meaning under the Highway Code: curved arrows instruct drivers to complete manoeuvres and return left; solid-bordered chevrons strictly forbid entry except in emergencies; 'KEEP CLEAR' markings prevent gridlock across key intersections; and single red lines enforce timed clearway restrictions on designated red routes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the purpose of carriageway deflection arrows
Recognise that a curved arrow instructs overtaking drivers to move back into the left lane before reaching a solid line or hazard
Deflection arrows warn of imminent road layout restrictions or hazards ahead
2
Determine the legal status of chevron markings with solid borders
Identify that a continuous solid border creates an absolute prohibition against entering the chevron area, permissible only in an emergency
Highway Code Rule 130 distinguishes solid borders (mandatory prohibition) from broken borders (entry allowed if safe and necessary)
3
Interpret the 'KEEP CLEAR' road marking
Match the marking with keeping junction access unobstructed when traffic queues
'KEEP CLEAR' painted across a lane ensures vital turning spaces and entrances remain accessible during traffic congestion
4
Interpret red route edge markings
Match the single red line with strict prohibitions on stopping, parking, and loading during controlled hours
Red routes enforce stopping restrictions to maintain unimpeded traffic flow on major arterial roads
