double yellow lines

No-passing road markings

Double yellow lines are road markings indicating no passing or no parking, depending on jurisdiction.

In the US, double yellow center lines mean vehicles may not cross to pass.

In the UK, double yellow lines along the curb prohibit parking at any time: I got a ticket for parking on double yellows.
