[edit] R5 Series: Parking and stopping

Where and when a motorist can park is an important part of driving in New England. All controlled roads have some form of parking restrictions placed upon them, and as such they have signs to indicate where parking is allowed and for how long. Parking signs are complimented with line markings in either white or red that indicate where a motorist can park or where no parking and stopping zones exist.

[edit] Section 2: Warning signs

The most common signs on the road, warning signs warn of a particular hazard on or near the road. Such signs are designed to warn drivers of situations that require some caution, or recommend a change in driver behaviour to ensure the safety of both the driver and anyone else using the road.

Warning signs are either yellow or orange, with all being diamond shaped with a black symbol. Both may have a supplimentary sign below to qualify their message, which is usually white in colour.

[edit] Section 6: Lane Movements

On some arterial and local roads there is only one lane each way. This makes overtaking difficult and potentially dangerous. In response, overtaking lanes have been built at regular intervals to facilitate the safe movement of traffic along the road. All roads with additional lanes are clearly marked, and have rules that apply to when an additional lane can be used and by whom. On trunk and main roads, there are overtaking lanes every five to ten kilometres.

In a nutshell, additional lanes exist for overtaking only, and therefore all traffic must keep to the leftmost lane unless overtaking. Lorries and other long vehicles may be forbidden from overtaking in certain areas. Where an overtaking lane exists, it can only be used by traffic flowing in one particular direction, which is always marked. All lane movement signs are white and rectangular, with black arrows indicating the presence of additional lanes and also when they come to an end.
