More and more domestic motorists are paying attention to the fact that some mysterious yellow markings have recently begun to appear on the roads of the country. In this regard, many people have a question about what it is in general and why it is needed. After all, most residents of the republics of the former USSR saw such markings only in Hollywood cinema. It seems that the time has come to figure out since when they began to apply yellow markings and whether it differs in anything from orange.
When the yellow markings appeared
In 2018, a new GOST came into force under the R index 51256-2018. This state standard affected the rules and procedure for applying road markings in Russia. First of all, he added a few new colors. White color of the markup remained the main one. Orange was approved as the color of temporary road markings that are applied when the job is done. In addition, the layout palette was supplemented with red and yellow colors, as well as such exotic for domestic latitudes as green, blue and even black.
Separately, it should be noted that the last three colors are still not included in the traffic rules, and therefore it will be extremely problematic to see them on the roads. At the same time, yellow and red colors for road markings are already fully used. It is also worth emphasizing that orange and yellow markings are not the same thing.
This variety of lane colors is needed to improve road safety. All of these colors apply to both horizontal (asphalt) markings and vertical markings (for example, applied to poles).
What are the yellow markings and why is it needed
Yellow markings are warning or prohibitive in nature. She does everything that she used to do exactly the same white marking. The only difference is that the yellow markings are much better visible, and therefore (as is commonly believed) increases the level collective safety on the road, since it will be the yellow stripes that will be much easier to notice in bad weather, and most importantly - under a layer of snow.
There are several types of yellow markings. In accordance with each of them, certain traffic rules apply to the designations. So, double solid yellow markings are used to separate traffic flows. It is strictly forbidden to cross it. Single yellow line applied along curbs and sidewalks, it denotes dangerous boundaries of traffic sections, and also duplicates the sign "Stopping prohibited". Crossing a single continuous line is also prohibited.
Intermittent yellow markings may duplicate the "no parking" sign, however, allow a stop at a specific place (up to 5 minutes) for disembarking passengers or loading and unloading a car. Intermittent yellow can also separate lanes of the same stream or warn drivers of two different streams about the imminent transition to solid lines.

In addition, the yellow markings can be zigzag or oblique. In this case, it denotes places where passenger transport stops, including buses, taxis and route taxis. All other road users are prohibited from stopping at such markings. In some cases, yellow markings can also be used to mark the stop line at an intersection.
