Question

Difrence between hazard lanes and dividers lanes?

Answer 1

Hi I hope the following will help and applys to UK roads

Lane dividers.

These are short broken white lines, which are used on wide carriageways to divide them into lanes. You should keep between them.

Hazard warning lines

A broken white line.

This marks the centre of the road. When this line lengthens and the gaps shorten, it means that there is a hazard ahead. Do not cross it unless you can see the road is clear well ahead and wish to overtake or turn off.

Double white lines where the line nearest to you is broken. This means you may cross the lines to overtake if it is safe provided you could complete the manoeuvre before reaching a solid white line on your side.

Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid.

This means you must not  cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less.

Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road.

These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right.

· If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so.

· If the area is marked with diagonal stripes and bordered by solid white lines, you should not enter it except in an emergency.

· If the area is marked with chevrons and bordered by solid white lines you
