Art. 76 Ordinance of 5 September 1979 on Road Signage (OSR) - Edge Lines and Guidance Lines

Edge lines (continuous, white; 6.15) mark the edge of the roadway.

Guidance lines (discontinuous, white; 6.16) provide visual guidance for traffic in the following manner: a. they delineate the roadway as an extension of stop lines and waiting lines (Art. 75) in wide junctions (6.16.1); b. they indicate the path of the main road when it changes direction at an intersection (6.16.2). Junctions of roads will be marked with a stop line or a waiting line. Where it seems appropriate, the corresponding part of the guidance line may be replaced by a stop line or a waiting line (e.g., 6.16.3); c. they constitute a boundary between the roadway and contiguous traffic areas that do not form an intersection with the roadway (Art. 1, para. 8 and Art. 15, para. 3, OSR); d. they delineate areas situated in the middle of the roadway and parallel to it, which do not constitute traffic lanes.

Guidance lines should not be marked at intersections where the right-of-way priority provided by law applies (Art. 36, para. 2, LCR).
