Paragraph 18 Stripes at Zebra and Parallel crossingsI1

This paragraph imposes requirements about the stripes in Zebra and Parallel crossings shown in the diagrams at items 52 (Zebra crossings) and 53 (Parallel crossings).

Each black and white stripe must be of the same size and of a width, as measured across the carriageway, of not more than 715 mm or less than 500 mm save that, where considered appropriate in relation to a particular crossing, and having regard to the nature and character of the road—

The colour of the surface of the carriageway may be used in place of the black stripes if the surface provides a reasonable contrast with the white stripes.
