Question

Difficulty: MediumPavement Markings and Lane Lines

On a two-lane undivided roadway, a solid yellow line painted along the outer right edge of the pavement marks the boundary between the travel lane and the shoulder.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because the right edge of a travel lane on a two-way roadway is always marked with a solid white line. Solid yellow lines are used strictly as centerlines between opposing lanes of traffic or on the left edge of one-way and divided roads.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify standard color conventions for pavement edge lines.
Right edge lines (fog lines) are painted solid white to delineate the right edge of the travel lane.
Traffic standards dictate that white lines delineate traffic moving in the same direction or mark the right shoulder boundary.
2
Determine the function of solid yellow lines in roadway markings.
Yellow lines separate opposing traffic lanes or delineate the left boundary of a divided highway or one-way street.
Yellow markings serve as a visual signal that traffic to the left of the line travels in the opposite direction.
3
Evaluate the statement against road marking standards.
The statement incorrectly asserts that right edge lines are yellow.
Because right edge lines are always solid white, the statement is false.
