Which term refers to the colors, lines, symbols, and words painted on the ground that guide traffic?

• A. Road Signs
• B. Road Markings
• C. Lane Lines
• D. Signals

Answer: (B)

Road markings are the painted cues on the pavement that guide traffic, including lane boundaries, crosswalks, stop lines, arrows, and words. They show you where to drive, where lanes begin or end, when you must stop or yield, and where pedestrians may be crossing. This set is distinct from road signs, which are upright, and from signals, which are traffic lights. Lane lines are a type of road marking, but the broader term that covers all these painted indicators is road markings.
