![]() ![]() If there is an octagonal “Stop” sign for example, or if the words are written on the road, then the vehicle must stop and give way to traffic on the main road. The lines marking the edges of the road and parking areas are not considered longitudinal markings.Ī solid line arranged across the width of one or more lanes indicates that vehicles must not cross that line unless the obligations of the road are complied with. Vehicles coming in the opposite direction are permitted to cross as their line is broken, but only if it is safe to do so. In this example, vehicles heading in the direction of the picture are not permitted to cross the solid white line. This does not prevent vehicles which have been carrying out an overtaking manoeuvre to return to their own lane however. In the event of one side of the double line being broken, vehicles on that side of the lane are allowed to cross the line if necessary, but vehicles on the side of the lane where the line is solid are not permitted to cross. However, it would also have the same meaning if it was only a single, solid white line. No vehicle is permitted to cross that line. This road has double solid white lines in the centre. Double lines are also used on reversible lanes or when traffic flows in both directions. These lines are also often wider.īroken white lines are also used to indicate a special lane for certain types of vehicles, in this case the lines are significantly wider than in the general case.ĭouble solid lines have the same obligation as single lines, in that no vehicle is allowed to cross that line. In the event of the gap between the lines is shorter than normal, it indicates an area more hazardous than usual. Where the white line is broken and singular we are permitted to cross, if needed and if it´s safe to do so.īroken white lines are also used to indicate the approach to hazardous areas and locations. You must avoid the manoeuvre if you will not have time to return to your lane safely and before any other markings. You are permitted to cross the broken white line in order to carry out a manoeuvre such as overtaking, so long as the way is clear, you don´t impede the movement of other vehicles. The only exception is in order to pass a cyclist, giving the minimum distance, and only when no other vehicles are approaching and only when it is safe to do so.Ī broken white line is intended to guide the movement of vehicles within lanes and no vehicle should cross that line unless it is necessary and the flow of traffic permits it. You are not allowed to cross the solid white line for any reason, such as turning into another road or overtaking. A longitudinal mark consisting of two continuous lines has the same meaning. Every road paints a picture, whether marked or not, the clues are there.Ī continuous white line on the road means that no vehicle is allowed to cross that line. I hope you don't flame my understanding of the song, it's just what I think it could mean.Road markings are there to serve as a means of separation for traffic, but they also provide the driver with information about the type of road and potential risks ahead. I could put it on a CD and listen to it for weeks at a time. The third line sounds like he's attempting to quit, or he's been on it too long and he's on the line between going insane/dying, or staying to his addiction.Ĭhrous again, just underlining the previous one.Īgain with the second line, simply restating that he's still "helpless" and alone and such.Īnyhoo, this has been one hell of a long meaning, and I enjoyed writing it almost as much as I enjoyed listening to the song itself. It also conveys that nobody cares that he's alone and that he'll never fix anything(hence the Broken Dreams).Ĭhorus is just restating that he's lonely and he wishes someone would help him out of his hole, but until he gets intervention he's stuck alone. ![]() The next line just expresses a feeling of, you guessed it, utter and complete loneliness, but that's not all. ![]() (I've only ever heard this song by itself, I plan to buy the CD sometime in the future.) The words make it seem like he's been on this road for so long that he's gotten used to it, and it's just a part of him now. Don't know where it goes.) seems to me like he's talking about addiction or an extremely hard time in life. Well, during the first part of the song(I walk a lonely road, it's the only one I've ever known. What's fucked up and every thing's all rightĬheck my vital signs to know I'm still alive Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating My shadow's the only one that walks beside me ![]()
