Title: question about UK road markings????
Post by: aeronca on October 24, 2009, 02:26:51 PM
as i was re-watching the 2009 isle of man for the millionth time, i was wondering what the zig-zag line's in the middle of the road's were.

Probably the lead up to a pedestrian crossing, no parking, stopping or waiting on the zig zags, and no filtering.

Not strictly right. You are allowed to filter but you're not allowed to overtake the lead car before the crossing. You just pull alongside and when he pulls away you do him on the other side.

Not correct either since you aren't allowed to overtake on the zig zags!
