Longitudinal road markings are used to regulate and guide traffic flow on a carriageway. Double solid longitudinal lines indicate a strict restriction on lane changing or overtaking, broken lines allow for controlled lane changes, and solid lines act as guiding lines where lane discipline is required.
IRC:35-2015 (Code of Practice for Road Markings)
Longitudinal road markings are used to regulate and guide traffic flow on a carriageway. Double solid longitudinal lines indicate a strict restriction on lane changing or overtaking, broken lines allow for controlled lane changes, and solid lines act as guiding lines where lane discipline is required.
Road markings are designed based on traffic safety standards to ensure lane discipline. Double solid lines signify maximum restriction (no overtaking), broken lines serve as indicators for traffic lanes or dividing lanes for overtaking, and single solid lines often act as guiding or boundary lines to maintain safety at specific sections.
Double solid lines are prohibited for crossing except during emergencies.
Broken lines are used to separate lanes where overtaking is permitted.
Solid lines are used to guide traffic or demarcate edges/lanes where caution is required.
