Roadway Markings

Roadway markings are the painted lines and symbols on the road surface that provide important information to drivers. They help guide traffic, indicate lanes, show road boundaries, and communicate rules, such as where to stop or yield. Solid lines typically mean you shouldn’t change lanes, while dashed lines allow for lane changes. Color-coded markings convey different meanings, like yellow for traffic separations and white for lane divisions. Understanding these markings is essential for safe driving, helping to prevent accidents and ensure smooth traffic flow. Proper adherence to these markings promotes order and safety on the road.
