More paint, more caution

Which lane should I take?It might seem a bit strange at this point in your training to be considering road markings, after all, you have probably been dealing with give way lanes, stop lines, central white lines. etc., since your very first lesson.

The idea of this lesson is to consolidate all of your knowledge and to ensure that you can react correctly to road markings (and signs) without help from your instructor.

Road markings are mostly painted white or yellow. White lines separate streams of traffic; yellow lines and markings prohibit waiting and parking.

A general rule to follow is: ‘more paint ... more need for caution’. This section explains the rules relating to some basic road markings and gives examples of 'reading the road' with regard to other markings.

Luckily we don't have markings in the UK like those shown in the picture. Which lane do you think they want you to drive in?
