Warning Lines

Warning lines caution you about an upcoming hazardous location ahead on the road. You will find such warning lines in locations when there are sharp bends in the road, steep curves, or an obstruction on the road such as a tree, electric post, structures, etc.. The warning lines are similar to a centre line, which means they are broken white lines. The only difference you will see in warning lines is that the spacing is smaller as compared to the centre line. Hence, when you are about to approach some hazardous locations, the centre line gets changed to warning lines, and you can recognize this change by the reduced spacing of the broken white line.

You should get alert if you see a warning line. It indicates that hazardous condition is about to be encountered. The hatched markings indicate the exact location of the hazard within the carriageway.
