-
Yellow markings are not exclusively regulatory. They are primarily used to separate traffic flows in opposite directions and indicate no-overtaking zones, centerlines, etc.
-
White markings are used for lane separation (same direction), edge lines, guidance, and also regulatory purposes (like stop lines, turn arrows).
