What is the difference between a SOLID RED LINE and a BROKEN RED LINE on the road?

Question:

Please clarify the meaning of a SOLID RED LINE and a BROKEN RED LINE painted along the shoulder of a road. The Durban Municipality first used a BROKEN RED LINE which was then changed to a SOLID RED LINE. I need your urgent response.

Answer:

A red line means No Stopping.

A solid red line means No Stopping at any time, day or night.

A broken red line means No Stopping during the hours shown on an accompanying road sign.
