Re: [www.keralites.net] Why Do Some Roads Have White Markings While Others Have Yellow Ones?

 

I once asked a taxi driver of about 25 years standing,  the significance of yellow line, when he was crossing it, he said that when the painters ran short of white paint, they used yellow paint.

Why Do Some Roads Have White Markings While Others Have Yellow Ones? In India, a lot of us never bother to care about the traffic rules because who gives a damn about road safety. For most of us, traffic rules begin and end at memorizing what those red, yellow and green lights are for. Road safety is a major concern in India. So let's just try and keep ourselves informed about the little things that might make our drive safe and smooth. While driving, we all have noticed those white and yellow lines on road. Sometimes they are solid lines and sometimes they are broken. Did you know that these lines are also a part of road signs? Here's what these lines mean - Solid white line Solid white lines indicates that you must not change lanes and should stay in the lane you are already on.   Broken white line Broken white lines indicate that you are allowed to change lane, but with caution. So you may change lane, if it is safe to do so. One solid yellow line Passing or overtaking other vehicles is allowed, but you cannot cross the yellow line. However, this rule may vary from state to state. For example, in Telangana, a solid yellow line is intended for establishing no overtaking.   Double solid yellow lines Passing is not allowed over double solid yellow lines. For SC Has Just Made It Easier For Indians To Help Accident Victims. Here's How, click here.   Broken Yellow Line Passing is allowed over broken yellow line, but with caution. Solid yellow line with broken yellow line If you are driving on the side of the broken line, you're allowed to overtake, and if you're driving on the side of the solid line, you're not. There. Now you know what these lines are for. The next time you're on the road, try looking for people who follow these rules. Well, if there are any.
