What does hatching on the road mean? In this video, I explain the purpose of hatched road markings (also called diagonal or chevron markings), what they signify, when you can or cannot drive over them, and how they relate to road safety.
Whether you're a learner driver, road designer, or just curious about road signs, this video covers:
• What hatching is (solid vs broken lines)
• UK Highway Code rules
• When hatching is used for turning lanes, safety zones, and traffic separation
• Common mistakes drivers make
🛑 Hatching can indicate keep-clear zones, no-go areas, or merging zones — and crossing them illegally can result in fines or accidents.
