What are hazard approach lines for?

1. To designate parking spaces

2. To indicate areas where overtaking is permitted

3. To mark pedestrian zones

4. To warn you of your speed on approach

The correct answer is: To warn you of your speed on approach

Hazard approach lines are typically placed on the roadway as a warning to drivers of a hazardous or potentially dangerous condition ahead. These lines are used to alert drivers to reduce their speed and approach the area with caution. Option A is incorrect as designated parking spaces are marked with painted lines and signs. Option B is incorrect as hazard approach lines do not indicate areas where overtaking is permitted, but rather the opposite- they signal caution and reduced speed. Option C is incorrect as pedestrian zones are marked with crosswalks, signals, and signs, not hazard approach lines. Therefore, the answer D is the most appropriate and accurate choice.
