       Road markings and signs such as arrows, islands and kerbs tell you where you can and cannot drive. Here are the rules in New South Wales.
       As a general rule, you should always drive on the left side of a dividing line, regardless of whether it is single or double, broken or solid.
       On some roads, the centre lines are wider, with the distance between them reaching 1.5 metres. They increase the distance between oncoming lanes, helping to prevent head-on collisions. The traffic rules for wide centre lines are the same as for other dividing lines.
       The shoulder lines mark the edge of the road and help you see which way to go. They also help prevent vehicles from running over soft edges of the road and emergency stop lanes.
       Speed ​​bumps are raised materials on or near edge or boundary lines. When you hit a speed bump, it makes a sound and your car vibrates, warning you that you are drifting out of your lane.
       The dotted line on the side of the road indicates a clear path. It is prohibited to stop on the clear road during the time indicated on the sign, except in emergency cases.
       A median is an area that separates vehicles traveling in opposite directions. Medians can be raised, painted, or covered with grass and/or trees.
       The S lane forms a right turn lane, giving the other lanes an S-shape and merging with the shoulder strip.
       A solid white line separates the S-lanes. Do not cross this line when turning into an S-lane.
       The arrows drawn indicate the direction in which you can move along the lane. If the arrows point in several directions, you can go in any of them.
       Keep clear signs are used to keep roads clear outside of certain areas, allowing vehicles to enter and exit, such as near hospitals, fire stations and parking lots.
