Difficulty: MediumNight Driving

When driving at night on a motorway, green reflective road studs mark the boundary between the hard shoulder and the left-hand running lane.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because red reflective studs are placed along the left-hand edge of the carriageway to mark the boundary with the hard shoulder. Green reflective studs are only used across junctions and slip roads to indicate exit and entry points.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the standard Highway Code colour coding for motorway reflective studs at night.
Red studs mark the left edge/hard shoulder, white studs mark lane boundaries, amber studs mark the central reservation (right edge), and green studs mark junctions/slip roads.
Correctly identifying stud colours ensures accurate lane positioning and navigation in dark conditions.
2
Evaluate the statement against the colour coding.
The statement claims green studs mark the hard shoulder boundary, which is incorrect because red studs serve this function.
Green studs specifically indicate access areas such as slip roads and deceleration or acceleration lanes.
