Ladies and gentlemen, today we will be posting content about Meaning of road markings Along with other traffic signaling systems such as signals from traffic controllers, signal lights, and traffic signs, road markings are also a form of signaling to guide traffic control. .

Road markings may include lines or drawings on the road surface, or on sidewalks, on traffic works and some other parts of the road to regulate traffic order only. clearly define the size limits of traffic works, indicate the specified direction of traffic lanes.

You and your friends, when used independently, road users must obey the meaning of road markings, but if road markings are used in combination with signal lights and signs, Road users must at the same time obey the signal meaning of both road markings and signal lights together with signs in the following order: firstly, the order of signal lights and then signals. the signal of the road sign, then the signal of the road marking.

We take a specific example as follows, when going to an intersection, the road markings indicate that road users are allowed to go straight, but the signal light is red. At this point, the highest value is the signal light. has the highest effect, so road users must stop at the signal of the light after that, even if the signal light is green, but there is a sign in front of you to make a right or left turn, not allowing you to go straight. At this time, road users still have to obey the value of the sign and have to turn in the direction that the sign indicates.
