Double, you are not allowed to park or stop at any time. Single, you can for a very short amount of time.

Answer 4

A double yellow line means no waiting at any time.  It might only apply for certain months

A single yellow line means that there is no waiting at certain times shown on the nearby sign

Answer 5

Single  parking restricted or limited time

double  -  no parking Ever

or in Ireland - no parking at all - at all

Answer 6

A double yellow line means no waiting at any time, unless there are signs that specifically indicate seasonal restrictions.

A single yellow line means that there is no waiting at the times shown on nearby signs or on entry signs to controlled parking zones. If no days are shown on the signs, the restrictions are in force every day including Sundays and bank holidays.

Answer 12

These are waiting and or loading/unloading restrictions as follows :

Double yellow line means : "No waiting at any time. "  (It may only apply for certain months.)

Single yellow line means :   "No waiting at certain times" - (shown on  nearby sign.)

Answer 13

A single yellow line indicates that you are in a lane that is about to exit the road you are on. A double yellow line means no overtaking and no turns accross it
