BDifficulty 3/5

A checkerboard of white and red squares marks access to a road area. What does this road marking indicate?

Correct answer

An area reserved for emergency braking, where I may not stop or park.

The start of an emergency braking area under Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations. Do not use it for stopping, parking or purposes other than emergency braking. Keep access clear: it is not lorry parking or a rest area for just any emergency.
