Frequently asked questions
What does a solid white centre line mean?
No overtaking and no crossing — it’s a barrier line. In South Africa regulatory barrier lines are white; yellow lines mark road edges and temporary layouts.
What must I do at a stop line?
Bring your vehicle to a complete stop with the front of the vehicle behind the line before proceeding when safe.
Can I drive over a painted island?
No. Hatched or painted islands separate traffic streams and must not be driven over.
