  dbl yellow lines = no PARKING at all times
  dbl yellow zig-zag lines = no STOPPING at all times

  basic theory gonna fail.
  
  double yellow line, u may stop for waiting but no parking.
  double zigzag line, its macham expressway without shoulder. no stopping at all unless there is red traffic light in front of u.
  
  one good example is paterson rd outside wheelock. imagine if a car/taxi stop there just to let pax off (assume no pedestrian barriers). jam straight away, even for 20s. plus the traffic light in front will turn, the jam will accumulate quite fast.

  Double yellow lines = no parking, no waiting, you may alight or pick up passengers, and go off. Fine=S$70, no demerit points.
  Double zig-zag yellow lines = no stopping, no parking, no waiting, no alighting or picking up, in short no stopping is allowed. Fine=S$120 + 3 demerit points.
  Example, if you just stop at double zig zag yellow lines just few seconds, alight or pick up friends...etc, if spotted by TP, they might record your vehicle no, and send a notice of parking offence to register owner of the vehicle.
  
  Anyway, in HK or some other countries, if vehicles are stopped at even double yellow lines, for picking up or alighting, it is an offence. I experienced once in HK, Taxi stop and pick me up (less than 5 secs), police man was waiting in front, driver was booked. Actually double yellow lines means 24 hours no stopping, parking or waiting. But Singapore, since most of drivers ignore this, LTA then introduce single / double zig zag yellow line(s).....funny....

  White zig-zag lines by the side of the road give avance warning of the presence of a Pedestrian Crossing. Vehicles should not overtake, wait or park in the vicinity.

  those are inconsiderate drivers and they are taking chance, one day, they will be booked by TP. They thought TP won't bother them at night, one time is enough....how many 3 points can spare for it...

  just a note:
  
  towards west, i see that there is single yellow line on the right along the lao pa sat road.. in other words, there is no point parking on the right side of the raod (coz it's double zigzag).
  
  drivers who want to go to lao pa sat should park his cars on the left of the road which is single yellow line. (note: only after 7pm)
