Norms

Published by the issuing body — we link to the source rather than host a copy, because these documents get revised.

HBRC, by Ministerial Decree 158 · 1998
Line widths and cadences, the double line rules, the yellow edge line, and the sight distances below which a continuous line becomes mandatory. The code states in its own first section that it derives from American practice.
Traffic Law No. 66 of 1973 and its executive regulation
Government of Egypt · 1973
The legal effect of markings and signs. The code carries the dimensions; the law carries the obligation.

Egypt acceded in December 2023, twenty-five years after the code was issued. No reissued Egyptian standard reconciling the two has been published.
