The next time you are out driving check out the length of the white lines in the middle of the carriageway. Longer white lines with shorter gaps are known as hazard warning lines and are used to help a driver identify hazards ahead such as bends and junctions or when approaching the brow of a hill.
Shorter white lines with longer gaps generally indicate a safer stretch of road; however, this is where oncoming vehicles could decide to overtake so look well ahead and try to anticipate other road users' intentions.
