Do the white reflective elements mark the left edge of the road in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving at night on a dual carriageway behind a lorry; along the left side of the roadway there is a row of white reflective road studs, and along the right side a row of red ones. The white studs mark the left edge of the roadway. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that red reflective road studs placed on the roadway mark the right edge of the roadway, and the left edge of the roadway and the lanes may be marked with white or yellow studs. The reflectors complement painted lines where they are hard to see at night and in the rain, for example on motorways and expressways. The colour tells you straight away on which side the central reservation is and on which side the shoulder is.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
