Here are the road markings present on each image and their associated rule.
Unbroken white line on the edge: a continuous white line here is to mark the edge of the road. It can be helpful in conditions with poor visibility such as when its foggy or at night.
The word “slow” present: in this context slow down due to the sharp bend.
Two double lines that separate the road: the double white line here is governed by rule 129 of the highway code. You must not overtake or straddle the line unless you are overtaking a stationary vehicle, road maintenance vehicle or cyclist travelling 10mph or less.
