What does a grid formed by crisscrossing yellow lines on the road surface at an intersection indicate to drivers?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The road marking formed by a grid of crisscrossing yellow lines reminds drivers of the prohibition in Article 59(1) of the General Traffic Regulations: even when a driver has priority, the driver must not enter an intersection if the traffic situation is such that the driver could foreseeably end up stopped in a way that prevents or obstructs cross traffic. This applies even if the traffic light is green. Saying that changing direction is strictly prohibited is incorrect, because this marking does not restrict turns, as long as they can be made without being left stopped at the intersection. Saying that it is an area reserved for emergency braking is not true either: those areas are signed with a different marking, the white and red checkerboard, which indicates the place where the emergency braking zone begins.
