In the presented situation, is there a hard shoulder directly behind the line on the right, composed of white reflective road studs?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you can see two lines of reflectors on the right: white ones closer to you, and red ones further away, by the barrier. White reflective road studs mark traffic lanes, so right behind them there is another lane of the roadway, not a shoulder. Only the red studs mark the right edge of the roadway. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that red reflective studs mark the right edge of the roadway, and the left edge and traffic lanes may be marked with white or yellow studs. To tell the boundary of a lane from the edge of the road at night, look at the colour: white means there is still roadway on both sides, red means the end of the roadway.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
