00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the ReDian website.
00:04For drivers driving on the road,
00:07if there is a white line on the side of the road, you can't stop.
00:10If there is a double white line in the middle of the road, you can't overtake.
00:14These traffic rules are believed to be known by every qualified driver.
00:20However, recently, some netizens posted a photo on the social media X platform
00:24taken on the snowy road in Shayanan,
00:27which attracted the attention of local residents and netizens.
00:30Let me show you.
00:31This is a picture of a zigzag white line.
00:36What does this mean?
00:38If it is a white line, a double white line,
00:40or a straight line, a curved line,
00:43you may have seen it.
00:45But this one is more like a white line of a work of art,
00:49which makes many netizens very angry.
00:52Many netizens said that
00:54when I was taking my driving test,
00:56I didn't seem to have been tested or read this question.
00:59Shayanan City Hall also gave an opinion on the public opinion of netizens.
01:04Shayanan City Hall's Public Relations Director Azhar told the Malay Post that
01:08the purpose of using a zigzag white line on the road in Shayanan
01:13is to reduce the speed of the car
01:15and ensure that the driver follows the speed limit on the road.
01:19At the same time, he also reminded the driver that
01:21there are pedestrians crossing the road in front of him,
01:23thereby improving the driver's awareness.
01:26He also mentioned that using a zigzag white line
01:29is also a research project of Shayanan City Hall.
01:32The authorities will expand the use of zigzag white lines,
01:35especially in black areas where car accidents are very common.
01:39In fact, this kind of irregular zigzag white line
01:41is common in British countries,
01:43such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
01:46The purpose is to remind the driver
01:48to slow down when approaching the zigzag white line.
01:51It is worth mentioning that although zigzag white lines are rare in Shayanan
01:54and even other provinces,
01:57for the people of Penang,
02:00it may not be surprising.
02:02Is that right, Penang people?
02:03Because Penang is the first province to implement this safety measure.
02:07There are seven roads in the local area
02:09with such zigzag white lines.
02:12The purpose is to avoid road traffic accidents involving pedestrians.
02:16In addition to Penang,
02:17there are zigzag white lines on both sides of Malacca's Dunali Road.
02:22This is the purpose of the Malacca City Hall
02:24to remind drivers to slow down
02:27and keep a close eye on the road ahead
02:30in accordance with Singapore's practice.
02:32According to early reports,
02:34a Malacca city councillor pointed out
02:36that zigzag white lines are helpful for road safety.
02:40When drivers notice this obvious sign on the road,
02:44they should slow down and keep a close eye on the road.
02:47Also, do not overtake.
02:49Otherwise, you may face the consequences of being fined.
