Why do asian roads have striped curbs? - Lemmy

I’ve noticed this in pictures from accross asia, includion india, singapore, and myannmar. This doesn’t exist in European or American road signage systems.

Generally, the color of the curb indicates where or not you can park a car there and for how much time. It may also indicate if it is reserved for a dedicated veihcile type.

I suspect this is a remnant of the British era. Don’t quote me on that. In Belgium we have yellow panted stripes to indicate you’re not allowed to park. Similar.

I always though it was at the UN agreement for road signaling.

A lot of countries that that same standard.

You might be totally correct!
