YELLOW edge kerbside lines indicating a no stopping zone have been marked out by council contractors across some streets in the Armidale CBD.
Yellow lines indicating no stopping zones were introduced by the NSW Roads and Maritime Service in 2013 as an alternative to no stopping signs.
Yellow kerbside line marking is used to prohibit kerbside stopping of vehicles.
“With the introduction of the yellow edge kerbside lines in Armidale we will leave the no stopping signs in place until the signs fade and are no longer serviceable,” the council’s director of public infrastructure David Steller said.
“The signs will eventually be phased out and the yellow line marking will be the legal instrument for the no stopping designation.
“The changeover in the long-term will be cost neutral and as the line marking will be introduced over the next 5 to 10 years the impact on our line marking budget resources will be minimised.”
Road marking is installed to improve traffic flow and safety for motorists and pedestrians.
Road users who disregard road markings could be fined more than $300 and lose points.
