Road markings - what do these mean?

[Misc]

Hello,

I'm just wondering what these markings mean, i've searched on the web but it just tells me the name, what are they for?

Thank you.

They are present to try and separate the 2 lanes of traffic, often found along roads that may have had its fair share of RTA's or the likelyhood of dangerous overtaking.

. . . that's a motorcycle lane

Basically the rule is that you may use areas of road painted with diagonal lines to overtake slow traffic, as long as the border is broken rather than solid and as long as it's safe to do so.

Your boned!

"unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so."

Be VERY carefull how you word it as filtering is not classed as necessary.
