This annex contains only the additions and amendments made to the relevant provisions of the Convention. 3. To article 26 of the Convention, Paragraph 2, an additional paragraph should be inserted immediately after subparagraph (b) of this paragraph. This paragraph should read: "Double discontinuous lines may be used to indicate a lane or lanes in which the direction of traffic may alternately change in accordance with paragraph 11 of Article 23 of the Convention." Paragraph 4 Additional part of the sentence - insert at the end of this paragraph This part of the sentence should read: "... or which indicate the prohibition or restriction of stopping or parking." 4. To article 27 of the Convention, paragraph 1, Two parallel solid lines will not be used to mark a stop line. Point 3 Two discontinuous lines drawn side by side will not be used to indicate a line that vehicles should not normally cross when they are required to give way in accordance with sign B, 1 "Intersection with the main Road.".

Paragraph 5 This paragraph should read: "To mark crossings for cyclists, discontinuous lines consisting of squares or parallelograms should be used." 5. Additional paragraphs to article 28 of the Convention should be included immediately after paragraph 3 of this article. These paragraphs should read: "A solid line on the curb of the sidewalk or at the edge of the carriageway means that along the entire length of this line on the side of the carriageway where it is marked, stopping and parking are prohibited or subject to restrictions specified by other means. An intermittent line on the curb of the sidewalk or at the edge of the carriageway means that parking is prohibited or subject to restrictions specified by other means along the entire length of this line on the side of the carriageway where it is marked. The marking of traffic lanes using a solid or discontinuous line, combined with signs or inscriptions on the carriageway indicating certain categories of vehicles, such as buses, taxis, etc., means that this lane is intended only for the specified categories of vehicles." 6. To Article 29 of the Convention, Paragraph 2, this paragraph should read: "The marking of the road must be white. The term "white" includes silver and light gray shades. However: - markings indicating places where parking is allowed or restricted may be blue; - zigzag lines indicating places where parking is prohibited must be yellow.; - a solid or broken line drawn on the curb of the sidewalk or at the edge of the carriageway to indicate the prohibition or restriction of stopping or parking should be yellow."Additional paragraphs - insert these paragraphs immediately after paragraph 2 of this article. These paragraphs should read: "If a yellow line is used to indicate the prohibition or restriction of stopping or parking, and if a white line already exists indicating the edge of the carriageway, the yellow line should be applied next to the white line on its outside. If it becomes necessary to temporarily cancel for a short period the traffic rules indicated by permanent markings, and if, as a result, the permanent markings are replaced by other markings, then all temporary road markings must differ in color from the color usually used to mark traffic or to prohibit or restrict stopping or parking. It is preferable to use film or plastic to make the temporary marking of roads more visible." 7. Annex 8 to the Convention (Road markings) - Chapter II (Longitudinal markings) (Diagram A1) A. Dimensions Paragraph 2 This paragraph should read: "It is recommended that the width of the continuous and discontinuous lines in the longitudinal marking be at least 0.1 m (4 inches) and that the width of the discontinuous line used to separate the through lane from the acceleration lane, deceleration lane or combination of acceleration lane and deceleration lane be at least twice wider than the usual broken line." Paragraph 5 This paragraph should read: "(a) An intermittent line used to separate the direction of traffic flows in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 (a) (1) of article 26 of the Convention, It must consist of lines at least 1 m (3 ft 4 in) long. It is recommended that the length of the gaps should generally exceed two to four times the length of the lines and that the length of the gaps should not exceed 12 m (40 ft). (b) It is recommended that the length of the lines of the broken line used for the warning in accordance with paragraph 2 (a) (11) of article 26 of the Convention be two to four times the length of the gaps." Paragraph 6 This paragraph should read: "It is recommended that the length of the solid line be at least 20 m (65 ft)." V. Lane designations should not distinguish between (i) "Outside populated areas" and (ii) "In populated areas". Paragraph 8, first sentence This sentence should read: "It is recommended that on two-way roads with two lanes, the centerline of the carriageway is indicated by longitudinal markings (Diagram A2)." Paragraph 9 This paragraph should read: "On two-way roads with three lanes, the lanes should, as a rule, be indicated with broken lines (Diagram A-3). One or two solid lines or one broken line drawn next to a solid line should be used only in special cases. A double solid line can be used when approaching road breaks, intersections, and railroad crossings, as well as in places where visibility is limited." Paragraph 10 This paragraph should read: "On two-way roads with more than three lanes, it is recommended to use one solid line to separate both directions of traffic. However, when approaching railway crossings and in other special cases, two solid lines may be used. Traffic lanes are indicated by broken lines (Diagram A-4). If a single solid line is used, it should be wider than the lines dividing the lanes used on the same road section." Paragraph 11 This paragraph should read: "If an additional paragraph inserted after paragraph (b) of paragraph 2 of Article 26 of the Convention is applied, each edge of the lane or lanes of traffic on which the direction of traffic may alternately change may be indicated by a double intermittent warning line used in accordance with paragraph (a). 11) Paragraph 2 of Article 26 of the Convention (diagrams A-5 and A-6)." Additional item - Include This paragraph immediately after paragraph 11. It should read: "Diagram A-7 provides an example of marking a one-way road. Diagram A-8 provides an example of the marking of a motorway carriageway." Paragraph 13, the words "diagrams 2 and 3" should be replaced by the words "diagram A-31". An additional paragraph should be inserted immediately after paragraph 13. This paragraph should read: "Diagrams A-9 and A-10 provide examples of the marking of acceleration and deceleration lanes. Diagram A-11 shows an example of marking the combination of an acceleration lane with a deceleration lane." C. Designation of special cases Paragraph 14 The words "diagram 4" and "diagrams 5 and 6" should be replaced by the words "Diagram A-33". Paragraph 15 This paragraph should read: "Visibility distance" means the distance at which an object of a certain height placed on the carriageway can be seen by an observer located on the carriageway, whose eye is located at the same height or below 1/. If it becomes necessary to prohibit the use of a part of the road intended for traffic in the opposite direction, at certain intersections or in places where the visibility distance is reduced (at road breaks, turns, etc.), or on those sections where the carriageway narrows or has any other features, the restrictions prescribed for Those sections of the road where the visibility distance is below the minimum visibility distance of M should preferably be indicated by solid lines plotted in accordance with diagrams A-12 - A-19. If local conditions prevent the use of solid lines, warning lines should be used in accordance with paragraph (a) (11) of paragraph 2 of article 26 of the Convention." ____________________ 1/ Considering the design of modern vehicles, it is recommended to take a distance of 1 m (3 ft 4 in) for the height of the eye, and 1.2 m (4 ft) for the height of the object. Paragraph 16 This paragraph should read: "The value to be taken for M varies depending on the characteristics of the road and traffic conditions. In diagrams A-12 - A-19, A (or D) is the point where the visibility distance becomes less than M, while C (or B) is the point where the visibility distance becomes more than M again." Paragraph 17 This paragraph should read: "In diagrams A-12 (a), A-12 (b), A-13 (a), A-15 and A-16 give examples of different markings of roads with two lanes (sections of road curved in a vertical or horizontal plane, the presence or absence of a central zone where the visibility distance in both directions exceeds M)." Paragraph 18 This paragraph should read: "On roads with three lanes, two methods can be used: a) The carriageway can be reduced to two wider lanes, which may be preferable if there is significant movement of two-wheeled vehicles on the road and/or if the section on which the number of lanes is reduced to two is relatively short and remote. from another similar section of road (diagrams A-12 (o), A-12 (d), A-13 (b), A-17 and A-18). b) In order to use the entire width of the carriageway, one of the two directions of traffic may be provided with two lanes. If the longitudinal profile of the road is a slope, it is recommended to give an advantage to the vehicle moving up the hill. Diagram A-12 (o) shows an example of a road fracture where sections AB and CD do not overlap each other. If they overlap each other, then this type of marking prohibits overtaking in the central area, where the visibility distance is sufficient in both directions. To avoid this, the markings in diagram A-13 (c) may be used. Diagram A-14 provides an example of marking changes in the lateral slope of the road. The markup does not change regardless of whether AB and CD overlap each other or not. When combining a turn in a road with a significant slope, the same principles can be adopted. If there are turns on flat terrain, two lanes can be set aside for vehicles moving along the outside of the bend, as this movement provides better visibility during overtaking.

A-14 provides an example of marking changes in the transverse slope of the road. The markup does not change regardless of whether AB and CD overlap each other or not. When combining a turn in a road with a significant slope, the same principles can be adopted. If there are turns on flat terrain, two lanes can be set aside for vehicles moving along the outside of the bend, as this movement provides better visibility during overtaking. Diagram A-19 provides an example of such a markup, which does not change regardless of whether AB and CD overlap each other or not." Paragraphs 19-21 of the provisions of these paragraphs will not apply. Paragraph 22, first sentence This sentence should read: "In diagrams A-20 and A-21, which give an example of markings when changing the width of the carriageway, as well as in diagram A-22, which indicates an obstacle or the beginning of a central reserve zone requiring a deviation of the solid line(s), this slope The line or lines should be preferably 1/50 or less on roads with high speed, 1/20 or less on roads where the speed does not exceed 60 km (37 miles) per hour." Paragraph 23 This paragraph should read: "Preferably, that the solid line be preceded by a warning line, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 (a) (ii) of article 26 of the Convention, at a distance of at least 100 m (333 ft) on high-speed roads and at least 50 m (166 ft) on roads where the speed does not exceed 60 km/h. This warning line can be supplemented or replaced with directional arrows. Diagrams A-29 and A-24 show examples of these arrows. When using more than two arrows, it is advisable to reduce the distance between consecutive arrows as you approach the danger area (diagrams A-25 and A-26)." D. Boundary lines marking the boundaries of the carriageway Paragraph 26 Additional sentences - include at the end of this paragraph These sentences should read: "It is recommended to make the width of the boundary line at least 0.1 m (4 inches). Its recommended width on motorways or similar roads should be at least 0.15 m (6 inches)." E. Marking of obstacles Paragraph 27 This paragraph should read: "Diagrams A-22 and A-27 show examples of markings that should be applied near islands or other obstacles located on the carriageway." F. Guide lines and arrows at intersections Paragraph 28 This paragraph should read: "If at some intersections it is desirable to indicate to drivers how they should cross the intersection or how a left turn should be made in countries with right-hand traffic, or how a right turn should be made in countries with left-hand traffic, guide lines or arrows may be used. The recommended length of the lines and gaps is 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) (Diagrams A-28 and A-29). The guide lines shown in Diagram A-29 (a) can be supplemented with arrows. The arrows shown in diagram A-29 (b) can be supplemented with guide lines." 8. To Annex 8 to the Convention (Marking of roads) - Chapter III (Transverse marking) B. Stop Lines Point 30 At the end of this point, a link to diagram A-30 is included. Paragraph 32 This paragraph should read: "Stop lines can be supplemented with longitudinal lines (Diagram A-31). They can also be supplemented with the word "STOP" marked on the carriageway (diagram A-32)." C. Line indicating the place where drivers are required to give way Paragraph 33 This paragraph should read: "It is preferable to set the minimum line width to 0.2 m (8 inches) and the maximum width to 0.6 m (24 inches) (Diagram A-34 (a)). It is recommended that the length of the lines should be at least twice their width. The line can be replaced by triangles placed side by side on the road, the top of which is directed towards the driver, who must give way. It is recommended that the bases of these triangles be at least 0.4 m (16 inches), but not more than 0.6 m (24 inches), and their height is not less than 0.6 m (24 inches), but not more than 0.7 m (28 inches) (diagram A-34 (b))." Paragraph 35 This paragraph should read: "The markings specified in paragraph 34 may be supplemented by a triangle, which is applied to the carriageway and an example of which is given in diagrams A-34 and A-35." D Pedestrian crossings Paragraph 37 This paragraph should read: "It is recommended that the distance between the lanes that mark the pedestrian crossing be at least equal to and not more than twice the width of these lanes; and that the total width of one lane and the gap between the lanes be 0.8 m (2 ft 8 in) to 1.4 m (4 Ft 8 in). The recommended minimum width for pedestrian crossings should be 2.5 m (8 ft) on roads where the speed limit is 60 km/h (37 mph) or less (Figure A-36). On other roads, the minimum width of pedestrian crosswalks is 4 m (13 ft). For safety reasons, it is recommended to equip crosswalks on such roads with traffic lights." E. Crossings for cyclists Paragraph 38 This paragraph should read: "It is preferable to mark crossings for cyclists with double discontinuous lines consisting primarily of squares (0.40-0.60) x (0.40-0.60) m [(16-24) x (16-24) inches] separated by spaces equal to the side of the square. The crossing width should preferably be at least 1.8 m (6 ft) for a bike lane with traffic in one direction and at least 3 m (9 ft 9 in) for a bike lane with traffic in both directions. At crossings that are not at right angles, squares can be replaced by parallelograms, the sides of which are respectively parallel to the axis of the road and the axis of the bike path (Diagram 1-37). The use of tiles or buttons is not recommended. Diagram A-38 shows an example of an intersection where the bike path is part of the main road." 9. Annex 8 to the Convention (Road markings) - Chapter IV (Other types of markings) A. Pointing arrows Paragraph 39 This paragraph should read: "On roads with a sufficient number of lanes to allow vehicles to change lanes when approaching an intersection, the lanes to be used may be indicated using pointing arrows applied to the surface of the carriageway (Diagrams A-39 - A-41). Pointing arrows can also be used on one-way roads to confirm the direction of travel. It is recommended that these pointing arrows be at least 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long. The designation of the pointing arrows can be supplemented with inscriptions on the carriageway." B. Parallel oblique lines Paragraph 40 This paragraph should read: "It is recommended that parallel oblique lines have a slope indicating a deviation of movement away from the marking. Chevron markings, tilted in a similar way to deflect traffic away from a dangerous point, can be used in places where traffic branches and merges (Diagram A-42). Diagram A-42 (a) shows an example of a zone where vehicles are prohibited from entering from a solid line and which they can enter from an intermittent line only if they are careful. Diagram A-21 shows an example of marking areas where vehicles are completely prohibited from entering."C. Inscriptions Paragraph 42 This paragraph should read: "It is recommended that the letters and numbers be significantly elongated in the direction of travel, due to the very small angle of view from which the inscriptions are visible to drivers. In cases where the approach speed does not exceed 60 km (37 miles) per hour, the minimum length of letters and numbers should preferably be 1.6 m (5 ft 4 in) (Diagrams A-43 - A-48). In cases where the speed of approach exceeds 60 km/h, the minimum length of letters and numbers should preferably be 2.5 m (8 ft). Diagrams A-49 - A-54 provide examples of letters and numbers 4 m long."Paragraph 43 of this paragraph does not apply. E. Marking on the carriageway and adjacent structures i) Markings indicating the places where parking of vehicles is restricted Paragraph 45 This paragraph should read: "Diagrams A-55 and A-56 provide examples of markings indicating the prohibition of parking." ii) Designations on objects representing an obstacle Paragraph 46 This paragraph should read: "Diagram A-57 provides an example of markings on an object representing an obstacle. It is recommended to use black and white or yellow alternating stripes to apply this marking."
