What does a grid of white and red markings (a chequered pattern) on the road surface indicate?

Correct answer

The start of an emergency braking area.

It marks the start of an emergency braking area under M-7.11. Stopping, parking or using the surface for another purpose is prohibited. Keep it clear for a vehicle needing emergency braking. It does not require fog lights and is not a parking area.
