Road signs and road markings
The handbook ends with two illustrated appendices: every road traffic sign, grouped by family, and every road marking. This module explains how each family looks and behaves, then the lines painted across and along the road. Use the searchable Road signs library alongside it to look up any individual sign.

ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, pp. 185, 190, 191, 192
قاعدہ
A warning sign is usually a red triangle pointing upwards, with a black symbol or words on a white background (sometimes yellow).
It is normally placed 150 to 250 metres before the hazard it warns about. In built-up areas inside city limits the distance may be shorter.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, p. 185
مثال
A warning sign does not give an order. It tells you what to prepare for.

Step 1 of 5, A round sign with a red border: Car A follows a slow truck towards a No overtaking sign. Round with a red border means something is forbidden.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, p. 193
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, pp. 193, 196, 197, 198
قاعدہ
Prohibitive signs are round, with a red border on a white background and a black symbol. They show that certain manoeuvres or vehicle types are forbidden.
A prohibitive sign applies from the moment you pass it until you reach the next crossroads, unless local circumstances or the sign itself indicate otherwise. Failing to obey one is an offence punishable by law.

متحرک تصویر · اصل تصویر
A model crossroads. A round blue Ahead only sign with a white arrow stands at the right-hand side of the south arm. Car A, the blue car you are driving, comes up that arm towards the junction.
تصویر پر فوکس کریں، پھر: دایاں تیر یا N اگلے قدم پر لے جاتا ہے، بایاں تیر یا B ایک قدم پیچھے۔ R پہلے قدم سے دوبارہ چلاتا ہے۔ D، 3D ماڈل اور 2D نقشے کے درمیان بدلتا ہے۔ کوما اور فل اسٹاپ 3D ماڈل گھماتے ہیں، اوپر اور نیچے کے تیر اسے جھکاتے ہیں، پلس اور مائنس زوم کرتے ہیں، 0 منظر دوبارہ ترتیب دیتا ہے۔ ہر قدم کے کنٹرول کے لیے ایک بٹن بھی ہے۔
Step 1 of 4, A round blue sign: Car A nears a crossroads with a blue sign showing a white arrow. Blue and round means an instruction, not a restriction.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, p. 199
قاعدہ
Mandatory signs are round, with a white border on a blue background. They give a positive instruction instead of a restriction.
An instruction for one type of vehicle or manoeuvre is at the same time a ban on all other types. A mandatory direction sign means vehicles may be driven only in the direction of the arrow or arrows.

Step 1 of 4, A sign that informs: Car A is on a primary road. Its sign stands just past the junction ahead. It gives no order: it tells A what kind of road this is.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, p. 203
نوٹ
Information signs come in a variety of shapes and colours. They help you find and follow the road you want, such as a motorway, and direct you to car parks, destinations, distances, service stations and other amenities.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road traffic signs, p. 203
قاعدہ
Traffic on a primary road has priority: vehicles entering from a minor road must give way. The sign may be repeated on a primary road after every crossing or junction.
At the end of a motorway, get ready to meet oncoming traffic again.

Step 1 of 5, Two lines across the road: This model junction has a continuous line on the south arm and a broken line on the north arm, so you can compare them.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 217
قاعدہ
A broken white line across your lane shows that traffic on the road you want to enter has priority. It marks where you should stop, if necessary, to take your final look.
You normally find one at the entrance to a roundabout: traffic inside the roundabout has priority and you must give way.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 217
قاعدہ
A single continuous line across your half of the road shows where you must stop at junctions with Stop signs or at junctions controlled by traffic lights.

Centre lines, warning lines, prohibitory lines and edge lines: which you may cross and which you may not.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, pp. 218–220
متحرک تصویر · اصل تصویر
A long straight two-way road whose middle line changes along its length: first short marks with long gaps, then long marks with short gaps, then one continuous line, then two continuous lines. Car A, the blue car you are driving, travels east in the right-hand lane. Car B comes the other way later on.

Step 1 of 4, Centre line: A broken line marks the middle of the road. On main roads each mark is 3 metres long with 9 metres between marks.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 218
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, pp. 218–219
تعریف
The centre line is a broken line marking the middle of the road. On main roads each mark is 3 metres long with 9 metres between marks.
A warning line reverses that pattern: 9-metre marks with 3-metre gaps. It replaces centre and prohibitory lines on roads less than 7 metres wide and can warn of a prohibitory line or hazard ahead. Crossing it is prohibited unless you are certain the road is clear.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 218
قاعدہ
Crossing or straddling a prohibitory line is forbidden, even with a single wheel. Crossing or straddling a double prohibitory line is always prohibited.
Where there are two lines and the one nearest you is broken, you may cross both to overtake, as long as you can finish before a solid line begins on your side.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, pp. 218–219
قاعدہ
The edge of the road is usually marked with a broken line, which you may cross when you temporarily need the shoulder, for example to help another vehicle overtake.
A continuous edge line is used on motorways where driving on the shoulder is unsuitable. Never straddle or cross it. Edge lines are normally white but can be yellow.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 219
نوٹ
White reflective studs are spaced in a row between lanes or along the centre of the road. Flashing amber studs warn that you are approaching a pedestrian crossing. At road works, studs may show which lanes are in operation.

Step 1 of 4, Read the road early: Lane arrows are painted well before the junction. The right-hand lane is a bus lane: only buses use it while it operates.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 222
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 221
قاعدہ
Only buses may use a bus lane during the operating times shown on the sign; outside those times all vehicles may use it. If no times are shown, it operates 24 hours a day. Do not drive or park in a bus lane while it is in operation.
Do not drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line. If the line is broken, do not drive or park in it unless this is unavoidable.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 221
قاعدہ
Lane arrows are painted well before a junction so that you can get into the correct lane in good time. If prohibitory lines border the lane, you must follow the direction of the arrow. Otherwise the arrow suggests an appropriate route.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 222
نوٹ
Raised yellow lines across the carriageway make you aware of your speed after a period of faster driving. They are sometimes painted before roundabouts or speed humps, when entering a village, or before a particular hazard. Reduce your speed in good time.

Step 1 of 5, Yellow criss-cross lines: The yellow lines mark a box junction. Their purpose is to keep the junction clear.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 224
قاعدہ
At road works, orange or yellow markings and yellow reflective studs may show the lanes in operation. Temporary road markings take precedence over ordinary road markings.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 223
قاعدہ
Parking spaces are marked with continuous or broken white lines, and all four wheels of a parked car must be inside them. Spaces for disabled persons may only be used by holders of special permits.
ماخذ: Handbook Appendix: Road markings, p. 223
قاعدہ
Yellow criss-cross lines mark a box junction. Their purpose is to keep the junction clear, so you must not enter the box unless your exit road is clear.
One exception: you may enter when you want to turn left and are only prevented from doing so by oncoming traffic.
