Road traffic

Solid lines and road markings

The line's function matters. A solid centre line and a combined line seen from the broken-line side do not impose the same restriction.

What to check in your case

Identify the marking on the date, the approach side and the alleged crossing point. At roadworks, include temporary markings and diversion signs.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.

  • Photographs of markings in your direction of travel
