In Indonesia, they are painted black and white stripes like that to increase visibility. Heck, Jakarta used to paint them using colorful palette a while back, but recently went back to black and white. I personally prefer them to use colorful paints instead of just black and white, especially in urban areas where everything is grey already.
Generally, the color of the curb indicates where or not you can park a car there and for how much time. It may also indicate if it is reserved for a dedicated veihcile type.
I suspect this is a remnant of the British era. Don’t quote me on that. In Belgium we have yellow panted stripes to indicate you’re not allowed to park. Similar.
Not 100% sure in the case of Singapore, but the double yellow lines indicate no stopping.
For places where we are allowed to park on the sides of the roads, there are either lot spaces already allocated and drawn out, or there will be no lines painted on the road.
Double yellow lines in the picture here indicates no stopping at all times, so it would be a little pointless to have the curb indicate no parking again.
The curb might just be for visibility, can’t confirm.
Same HK and S China, never seen them either. HK makes sense considering the GB influence but I wanted to flex I have been to HK (before the chaos). What an amazing city it was… sobs
As a full stack dev I’d like to say that the issue I see most from backend devs isn’t a lack of styling, it’s their need to wrap every element in 15 motherfucking divs. They don’t seem to understand that most html elements are self contained and can stand on their own.
Exciting update! He came out from under the bed. Still walking a wiiiide distrustful circle around the desk but I think we’re through the worst of it 👍
