On any public road.

To indicate that you are driving on a priority road.

You have the right of way at intersections until such time you see the end of priority sign for this lane.

Overview The Longitudinal Regulatory Markings (South Africa) – Exclusive Use Lane Symbol Marking (All Users) indicate a priority lane where vehicles have preferential right of way over other traffic until the lane’s priority ends. What the Marking Means This marking shows that you are driving in a designated priority lane. Vehicles in this lane generally have right of way at intersections and junctions until an “end of priority” sign is reached. The key purpose is: to give priority movement to traffic in a designated lane for improved flow and reduced delays. How It Works in Practice The lane is marked as a priority route for all designated users. Vehicles in the lane have right of way at intersections. The priority remains valid until an “end of priority” marking or sign is reached. Other traffic must yield to vehicles in this lane where applicable. Driver Responsibilities Stay in the designated lane if you are using the priority route Maintain awareness of intersections where priority applies Do not assume priority continues beyond the end-of-priority sign Yield correctly when entering or crossing the lane from side roads Where You Will See This Marking Major arterial roads Coordinated traffic routes in urban areas Priority transport corridors Roads with traffic flow management systems Purpose of the Marking These markings improve traffic efficiency by giving certain lanes priority movement through intersections, reducing congestion and improving travel time reliability along key routes. Common Mistakes to Avoid Assuming priority applies beyond the marked section Failing to yield when exiting or entering the lane Blocking the priority lane from side roads Misinterpreting the lane as a dedicated vehicle-type lane Safety Tips Watch for “end of priority” signs in advance Slow down at intersections even if you have priority Check for crossing traffic that may not yield correctly Drive defensively in high-traffic priority corridors Penalties for Ignoring the Marking Violating priority lane rules may result in: Traffic fines for failure to yield Intersection collisions due to misjudged right of way Charges for negligent driving Obstruction of designated traffic flow systems Summary The exclusive use lane marking (all users priority lane) in South Africa designates a route where vehicles have right of way through intersections until the end-of-priority sign is reached. Drivers must remain alert and still exercise caution despite having priority.
