Explanation
Road markings are used to regulate traffic and to warn or guide road users: they mark out lanes, separate directions of traffic or mark areas closed to traffic. They are not used to contradict a road sign; if they seem to, the road sign prevails (Article 133 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)).
