Re: Double White Line Meaning?

...a clever question - however I am sure that it is put in to stop people from overtaking...Alasdair I'm not so sure...isn't the point it's to discourage vehicles from moving off-side as the view is likely to make it unsafe...not a prohibition on overtaking as such...think 2 motorcycles as above......

Re: Best driving roads - Based on experience.

KML/KMZ file - store somewhere handy like DropBox and put links to in a nice database. Job jobbed. Personally I normally use QGIS to provide nice printed maps for all the Luddites out there. A simple PDF of a route works nicely. I've got a PDF somewhere showing how to do it. I'll dig it out some ti...

Re: Double White Line Meaning?

:) as I said above - a clever question - however I am sure that it is put in to stop people from overtaking, so the meaning for those putting it in place is no overtaking (hence my choosing that deliberately), they don't mean it as no parking - if they set out to do no parking then they would be pai...

Re: Home page picture?

A growing set of resources? What do you have in mind? I think there is a very simple opportunity to provide a library on the site... Links to helpful videos / articles... There is a suggestion in another thread that we collate good driving roads, perhaps map them etc... That kind of thing, for me t...

Re: Double White Line Meaning?

mmm, without giving it away, the correct reason comes as a result of putting in double white lines, however I would argue that highways / councils don't put them in for that reason - they put them in for one of the other reasons (which is technically incorrect), but is what they mean when they put t...
