Double red lines? What are they?


They signify "No Stopping" on London's designated "Red Routes".

Oh and whats wrong with the standard double yellow lines - they mean no
stopping too!



The difference is that yellow lines allow brief stopping to pick up or
set down passengers whereas, on Red Routes, stopping is prohibited.

A single red line means no stopping during the prescribed hours stated
on roadside signs. Double red lines means no stopping at any time.
