Malta Road Markings
Painted lines and symbols on the road surface
4 signs in this category
Road markings are the painted lines, arrows and symbols on Malta road surfaces that guide lane discipline, show where you may or may not cross, and reinforce nearby signs.
Study tip: Solid lines generally mean 'do not cross', while broken lines mean 'cross with care'. Yellow lines usually relate to stopping and parking rules.
Chevron Road Markings
A chevron board marking a sharp change of direction; the arrows point the way the road goes. Slow right down before you reach it and follow the chevrons round.
Hatched Road Marking
Diagonal white hatching separates streams of traffic or shields turning vehicles. Do not enter it unless it is bordered by broken lines, you can see it is safe and you need to.
White Arrow Lane Marking
A white arrow on the carriageway telling traffic in that lane to merge or move in the direction shown, often back to the left after overtaking. Follow it before the lane ends or the hazard arrives.
Zigzag Lines at Crossing
Zigzag lines flank a pedestrian crossing. Never park or overtake on them: they keep the sight lines clear so drivers and pedestrians can see each other in time.
