Band 1 road procedure - What does it mean when an area of road is painted with white diagonal stripes and surrounded by a broken white line?

Explanation

"Diagonal stripes or chevrons are painted on the road to help separate traffic lanes or vehicles turning right. When bordered by a solid white line, you shouldn't enter the area except in an emergency. If the line is broken, you shouldn't enter the area unless it's necessary and you can see that it's safe."
