Driving In Ireland - Road Markings
In Ireland you will encounter road markings that
will appear somewhat familiar to most EU and USA drivers. We have
indicated the most usual ones below.
| |
Double Solid White Lines Marked
on the road surface crossing directly in front of you: mean
STOP. These markings are used at Junctions, Roundabouts
and where traffic on the road you are approaching has the
right of way. |
| |
Broken White Line together with
a Solid White Line: Indicates that if the Broken White Line
is on your side of the road you you may overtake. If the
Solid White Line is on your side of the road you may NOT
overtake. |
| |
Double Solid White Line: Indicates
that you may NOT overtake on either carriageway. |
| |
Single Broken White Lines: Indicate
that you may overtake only when safe to do so. |
| |
Double Broken White Lines: Indicate
Solid White Line(s) ahead |
| |
Single Solid White Lines: Stay
Left - you may NOT overtake. |
| |
Single Yellow Broken Line on the
left side of the road: Indicates a "Hard Shoulder" and may
only be used to let cars pass you when the lane is clear
or to stop in in the case of Breakdown or Emergency. This
is not an additional Traffic Lane so take care when using. |
| |
Yellow Diagonal Box in the Centre
of the road: Indicates a junction and you may only enter
when your exit is clear. Do not stop or park in these designated
areas |
