In the UK yellow lines don't indicate the direction of travel, they are related to whether or not one is allowed to stop a car to either wait or park. Generally speaking, the double yellow lines on the left mean no stopping, so in theory you don't park on double yellow lines (though people do!) and a single yellow means you have to look at the adjacent signage to see if there is a restriction on parking on certain times of day. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_line_(road_marking) The silver van heading towards the camera is overtaking parked cars and is allows to cross the central line because it's a broken line (dashes). If it were a solid line, you're not supposed to cross it, but generally they are on corners or higher speed roads where there wouldn't be cars to overtake. The car going the opposite direction (away from camera) generally moves left to avoid a collision. There's plenty of room there for both cars to pass safely, even with the parked cars on the right :-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit || (O) | <www.seeingeye.tv> ---------- _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
