The purpose is to give drivers more notice about their speed when approaching the intersection. Have you seen them on New Zealand Roads ?

Peripheral Transverse Line (II) installation: Single one way lane  The transverse markings consisted of a series of parallel bars on the inside edges of the travel lane.
