But it has to be up to the idividuals choice.
I just tried that link in google and it did not find it, but in my aol browser it does.
Put this link into your browser and it will give you legal signage. Then check every bay in the Brunswick they are marked into Bays and Bays MUST be marked with double white lines at each end, in the Strand they had double white lines at each end but they were one long bay and should have been marked with a single white line at either end, I informed them in June 08, in November they painted out ...
