Question: 1 / 400

What do white lane markings signify?

Vehicles are traveling in the opposite direction

Vehicles are traveling in the same direction

White lane markings are used to indicate that vehicles are traveling in the same direction. These markings help organize the flow of traffic, allowing drivers to safely distinguish separate lanes intended for the same directional movement. For example, solid white lines indicate that lane changes are discouraged, while broken white lines suggest that lane changes are permitted. This system enhances roadway safety by clearly communicating traffic patterns and intended usage of the lanes.

In contrast, other markings serve different functions. For example, lane closures would typically be indicated by different types of markings or signage, while pedestrian crossing areas are often marked with either solid white lines or distinct signage to alert drivers to potential foot traffic.
