Road signs & markings
Road Markings in Northern Ireland
Road markings communicate lane boundaries, priorities, restrictions and warnings. Their exact pattern determines what they mean.
White markings
White lines can divide lanes and show priorities.
White markings are used for centre lines, lane boundaries, junction markings, directional arrows and many other traffic instructions.
Yellow markings
Yellow markings commonly relate to waiting or loading controls.
The precise meaning depends on whether the marking is a single line, double line, kerb marking or another specified pattern.
Special lanes
Bus and cycle lanes combine markings with upright signs.
The signs provide important details such as operating times and permitted vehicle classes.
Official diagrams
Use the NI Highway Code diagrams to identify unfamiliar markings.
