road is prohibited at any time during a period of at least four consecutive months. The single mark (diagram 1019) indicates that the prohibition applies for some lesser time (of day, week or year) than this. The restriction imposed by these markings applies from the centre of the road to the highway boundary on the side the marking is laid.
20.8 The kerb mark is 100 mm wide, with a gap of 100 mm between the lines of the double mark. The mark should be 250 mm long and may be extended down the kerb face. Where there is no raised kerb, the 300 mm mark should be used, positioned so that its nearer end is approximately 250 mm from the prohibition of waiting line.
20.9 The marks should be laid so that the first and last in the series correspond with the limits of the prohibition. Where two types of prohibition meet, the more restrictive marking should be placed at the point of change (see figure 20-1). The marks should be repeated at approximately 3 m intervals, but may be varied to between 2 m and 4 m to avoid a short length at the end. This spacing ensures that there will always be a mark alongside a stationary vehicle. A larger spacing would allow a vehicle to stop between the marks and a driver might claim that it was not clear that the prohibition extended between them.
20.10 The marks must not be laid at a pedestrian crossing, or within its controlled area.
