You have the Red Light and then the Green Man and then you’re Frogger!
Can’t park there mate.
You see not everything is straight over here – which sometimes annoys other foreigners.
ZERO FUCKS GIVEN
We asked all our friends and relatives in Northern Ireland what they all meant & nobody knew, everyone said they never paid attention to them until we asked! 🤪
I was told at some point by someone (zero memory who or when) that it also shows the minimum stopping distance for a crossing? So if you’re within them when it changes to red then you likely won’t be able to stop. I’d need to go research to confirm but someone who sees this thread might know already.
Whilst out skiing once in the Cairngorms, my dyslexic friend and I were enjoying a rest at the bottom of the mountain. I enthused about how much I enjoyed zig-zagging down the mountain.
My dyslexic friend was taken aback. ‘What do you mean? Zig-zagging?’ He was quite enraged. ‘We were zag-zigging you idiot’
I informed him in no uncertain terms that we were zig-zagging and that his notion of zag-zigging was due to his feeble mind misinterpreting words.
‘If you don’t believe me, ask that fellow on the sledge if we were zig-zagging or zag-zigging’
My friend strode purposefully towards the man on the sled and asked angrily “do skiers zig-zag or do we zag-zig? ”
The gentleman on the sled told my friend that he did not have a clue. “I’m a tabogganist mate” he retorted.
My how I chortled when my friend replied “A tabogganist? Great! I’ll have 20 B&H!”
No stopping/parking
I always thought you were allowed to swerve if you wanted to hit the pedestrian
You can’t park there mate.
OP specifically asked about the zigzags in the middle of the street. They don’t mean no parking.
As my instructor said, the more the paint the more the pain in you cross it also so many points back in the day for stanies x

They indicate a traffic light
They indicate a buffer zone near a pedestrian crossing where you must not park or even pull in. Manly to allow good visibility to pedestrians.

“I wanna know what love is?”
They are always found by a crossing. They mean both no stopping and no parking, otherwise drivers view of people crossing will be reduced.
Must not cross lanes.
It’s a mandatory area for sex workers to show off their wares.
Can’t park there. To ensure visibility of the pedestrian crossing.

> You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines.
It’s also prohibited to overtake in that area, more details in
