Infrastructure developed - Is it implemented properly

We have excellent commutation means - nice “Golden Quadrangle” roads. But what is itching is do we follow any system or rules while using these roads - I will ask the question differently - do we know what those Yellow lines, Two Yellow lines, White lines and Dotted White lines that are drawn on roads mean - you will be sure that it is not for appeal - what it means - let me share whatever I have heard from our Overseas friends

Basically they are for separation of lanes

White dotted lines - you can change lane if required (one should not drive on two lane simultaneously (most of indian driver’s favorite driving style - driving with dotted lines as center)

White lines - don’t cross if any one travels in the other lane - this will be drawn between two wheelers lane (do we know that) and main lanes and in places of short curves where one is not supposed to overtake - or overtake with care

Yellow lines - Never cross such lines - these will be drawn in places where there is crossings or other major roads are joining and in places where there is long curvatures - blind view for overtaking - never ever overtake in these places

Two Yellow lines - Its a pseudo physical separators - Never and never cross such lines - these appears in long curvatures where other roads crossing or joining is also happening

Can we follow these rules and educate others on these essentials
