Why are the lines on the streets yellow?

Report Article

Jade Orchid

In terms of safety the color yellow is cautionary or advisorary (like a stop light). So seeing a double yellow line tells you to be aware that you may not pass another vehicle while a single intermittent line means you may.

So you can see them in the dark when your headlights shine on them

They're white where I live.

B/C THEY WANT THE ALIENS TO SEE THEN

pingpongpalm

why does it matter

Steven

dotted lines, means you can go over them to pass someone only if it is safe.

Double solid lines, means you can not pass over them whatsoever.

one solid one dotted, you can pass over them when the dotted is on your side, and it is safe to do so.

Robert

so when youre driving you can see easier
