Frequently asked questions
What does a solid white centre line mean?
It is a no-overtaking line (RM1) or no-crossing line (RM2): you may not drive with any part of your vehicle to the right of it. RM1 may be crossed only to enter or leave an entrance or to pass a stationary obstruction; RM2 only to pass a stationary vehicle or obstruction.
What must I do at a stop line?
Bring your vehicle to a complete stop with the front of the vehicle behind the line before proceeding when safe.
Can I drive over a painted island?
No. You may not stop, park or drive over a painted island (RM5) — unless a traffic officer orders you to, to avoid a collision, or in an emergency.
