Yellow lines
Posted on Monday 21 March 2022
As part of its ongoing road safety education program, Mosman Council is reminding motorists that yellow lines painted near the edge of a road indicate stopping restrictions on the section of road.
An unbroken or continuous yellow line along the kerb means no stopping, even if there isn't a No Stopping sign, except in a medical or similar emergency. No stopping zones without signs are implemented in areas to improve safety and reduce signage and distractions.
A broken or dashed yellow kerb line is a Clearway line and indicates drivers must not stop at the edge of the road between the hours shown on the sign, except in a medical or similar emergency, while buses, taxis and hire cars may only stop to pick up or set down passengers.
