What do white pavement lines separate?
- Traffic traveling in opposite directions
- Traffic entering or leaving a shoulder
- Traffic approaching a pedestrian crossing
- Traffic traveling in the same direction
Answer: Traffic traveling in the same direction. White pavement lines separate lanes whose traffic is moving in the same direction. The line may be solid or broken, and that pattern can affect lane changes, but the white color identifies the direction relationship. Opposing traffic is associated with a solid yellow line, so the opposite-directions answer reverses the two basic color meanings. A shoulder edge and a pedestrian crossing can have markings, yet neither describes the general purpose of white lane lines. When reading roadway paint, first ask whether the lanes carry traffic together or toward each other.
