Yellow Diagonal Crosshatch (Neutral Median Area)

Yellow diagonal stripes inside a yellow border mark a painted median or neutral area between opposing-direction lanes that drivers must not enter.

A rectangular area outlined in solid yellow and filled with yellow diagonal stripes marks a neutral or median area that separates traffic moving in opposite directions. The yellow color signals that the lanes on either side flow in opposing directions, and the diagonal striping identifies pavement that is not intended for travel. It commonly fills a widened center median, a flush island, or a neutral zone where opposing roadways separate. The striping stops where an opening is provided for crossing or turning movements.
