Do these white reflective road studs placed on the right side on the dashed line divide the lanes in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving at night on a road with several lanes in your direction; on the right, along the broken line separating the lanes, white reflective road studs are shining, and at the right-hand edge of the roadway - red ones. The white studs on the broken line separate the traffic lanes. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that red reflective road studs mark the right-hand edge of the roadway, while the left-hand edge and traffic lanes may be marked with white or yellow studs. At night and in the rain, painted lines are sometimes invisible, but the reflectors shine in your headlights from far away and show where the lane goes. You keep between the white studs, and the red ones on the right tell you that beyond them there is already the shoulder or a barrier.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 1 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
