Pavement markings
Painted lines on the road work alongside signs to control traffic. Reading them correctly is tested in the Traffic Signs section of the G1.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions.
- ◆ White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction.
- ◆ A broken line may be crossed when safe; a solid line should not be crossed.
- ◆ A solid line beside a broken line means passing is allowed only from the broken-line side.
- ◆ A white stop line shows where to stop at an intersection or crosswalk.
