What do yellow lines typically mean?

• A. No waiting or parking.
• B. No stopping at any time.
• C. Parking allowed with restrictions.
• D. Blue zone parking only.

Answer: (A)

Yellow lines show waiting restrictions on the road. The key idea is that you’re not allowed to wait there. When there are two yellow lines, the rule is total: no waiting or parking at any time. Saying it as “no waiting or parking” captures that strict restriction in everyday language. If you only see a single yellow line, the restriction applies only during the times shown nearby; outside those times the restriction doesn’t apply as rigidly. The other options don’t fit because “no stopping at any time” is a different rule that would be indicated by other markings or signs, and “parking allowed with restrictions” or “blue zone parking only” aren’t the standard meaning of yellow lines.
