Explanation

By law, any marking on the road surface made in accordance with the regulations is considered a traffic sign for all purposes. The color of the marking, its location (urban or otherwise), and the presence of additional signs nearby make no difference. Road markings are just as binding as upright (vertical) traffic signs.
