What do two parallel white lines across the road signify?

  1. No parking zone

  2. Pedestrian crosswalk

  3. Speed limit area

  4. School zone

The correct answer is: Pedestrian crosswalk

Two parallel white lines across the road signify a pedestrian crosswalk. This marking indicates a designated area where pedestrians have the right of way to cross the street. The presence of these lines alerts drivers to be vigilant and prepared to stop for individuals walking, ensuring their safety while crossing. The other options do not pertain to the meaning of parallel white lines. A no parking zone is typically marked with signs or red paint rather than parallel lines. Speed limits are indicated by roadside signage and are not visually represented by road markings. Similarly, a school zone is identified by specific signs that designate lower speed limits during certain hours or additional warnings, rather than parallel lines across the roadway. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for safe driving and compliance with traffic regulations.
