    Pulled from the Rules of the Road (Image Attached named 'd1'):

    Short broken white lines along the centre of the road:
    These divide two lanes of traffic travelling in opposite directions. You must not cross them unless it is safe to do so.

    Double broken white lines along the centre of the road:
    These alert drivers to continuous white lines a short distance ahead. As a driver, you must not cross them unless it is safe to do so.

    So the first says that, "Hey there is TWO-WAY Traffic".

    But I am unclear on the second one. Is it saying that up ahead, the broken lines will merge into a continuous line? Meaning you must keep left and not overtake once on the continuous line?

    It's telling you that you've got a short distance to complete an overtake. Up North I've noticed they have arrows indicating it.

    If you are over taking, it should be completed (safely) prior to a continuous white line. Whether it's a single white line, or a white line on your side of the road.
