    Can someone show me the law?

    I am not in trouble (this time ) But out of interest I have been looking but unable to find as yet exact wording surrounding yellow lines (I don't know maybee my search skills aint good enough), so if anyone could direct me to or post the exact wording to do with any/all yellow lines that would be appreciated.

    Also if anyone knows or could direct to/post al laws surrounding reversing onto a road that would be good too, I believe this law is still round???

    Do you want to include the yellow circles around fire hydrants and the yellow dashes down the side of the road? Just because it is yellow doesn't mean it's all one thing but they do tend to have a related meaning - don't be here.
    Think you will find yellow criss-cross under horizontal mediums; whereas you are permitted and expected to cross the white ones you are not allowed on the yellow.

    yep I am looking for all laws surrounding all yellow lines, Stop, no passing, no parking, no stopping, FH etc, etc, etc but not just the meaning of the described the actual wording surrounding the yellow lines & they're purpose

    Too generic a question.

    The only relevant lines are the dashed no-parking ones, and the solid yellow do-not-cross lines. Don't park on them, and don't cross them, respectively.

    the do not stop/block criss-cross outside the likes of Fire stations aren't relevant???

    I'm just looking for what the law says on all of these, because what law says & what we believe can quite often be very different & I like to know the exact rules

    Yellow lines on the right = do not cross UNLESS you are turning off the roadway
    Yellow lines on the left = NO stopping on the roadside.

    Why would you want it to be any more difficult?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    well that right there is one thing I want to know for sure, as I hear conflicting views on it all the time, are you allowed to cross the yellow line? Some (like you) say yes if turning off, others say no you are not allowed to cross this yellow line at all & hence one of the reasons I am searching all laws exact wording surrounding yellow lines

    Yellow line/s in the road centre indicate no passing. It is entirely legal to cross them in order to enter a driveway (say) on the other side of the road. You will note that in the case of a side street, that there will usually be a break in the yellow. For some reason, driveways are not afforded this 'courtesy'.

    I missed the other 2 types of yellow...
    1. Crosshatching = usually straddling a railway line or some particular lane intersections. Means DO NOT enter this area unless the exit is clear. Just an exclamation mark on the rule of not entering an intersection etc
    2. Double yellow limit line at a Stop sign-controlled intersection.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Do the Double yellow limit line at a Stop sign-controlled intersection have any meaning? If you look at the stop sign rule it is a complete stop clear of intersection where you can see the way is clear, no mention of lines. Intersection definition goes on about kerbs, again no mention of lines. I always thought these lines were just suggestion

    Have had a search, and can find nothing regarding crossing yellows in order to leave the road (eg).
    We all know that yellow markings are there to indicate an area of heightened risk, so don't go there.
    Legalities aside, obviously anyone wanting to cross, does so at their own risk and needs to take extra-special care to determine it's safe to do so.
    We see cops doing U-eys over yellows all the time...with predictable results at times.
    Perhaps this is one of those grey areas?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    see this is why it is kind of interesting to me. Everyone knows the rules, but very few know the law.
