Australia[edit]

Hey, I uploaded a picture of yellow lines used in areas with high levels of snow, but it says that I had already uploaded that image. I Know that image was already uploaded and it was MY image, but I know neither how to re-upload it nor how to use it for this article, as I uploaded it for a different article. If someone could fix that photo, I would be much appreciative

When were double yellow lines first used?[edit]

Notability of kerb markings[edit]

I have re-instated to section of kerb markings. These are in my opinion notable in for inclusion in this article. I will note however that they were removed in the middle of a dispute relating to a caption of an image on Overspill parking where a car is clearly parked on a pavement opposite double-yellow lines with kerb markings. See talk:Overspill parking for the discussion relating to the caption. PeterEastern (talk) 15:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • No, what you actually did (6 days ago) was to add a section on Loading restrictions (in this edit). This followed my removal of a couple of sentences in this edit, which, in my view, were outside the scope of the article. I visited the article following your link to it in the controversial caption you added to the overspill parking article. Following your creation of the new section I have not edited this article. -- de Facto (talk). 16:13, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to deal with two totally different things - the lines by the side of the road restricting parking and the lines in the middle of the road separating traffic travelling in opposite directions. They don't really go together. Double lines for the latter are widely used, but are often white eg in the UK. In South Africa a double white line with a yellow rumble strip is often used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.4.17 (talk) 18:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
