Signals and pavement markingsQuestion 98 of 296
A highway seen from above with a blue car in the right lane. A yellow solid line runs along the left edge. A narrow white broken line splits two lanes. At the right side, a wide white broken line runs beside a ramp that leaves the highway ahead of the car.

This picture shows an exit ramp. What do the wide broken lines at the ramp show?

  1. The place where you must stop
  2. The separation between the through lane and the ramp
  3. A lane only for slow trucks
  4. The edge of the shoulder
Show answer

Correct answer: The separation between the through lane and the ramp

Continuity lines are painted at entry and exit ramps. They are wider than normal lane lines. They split the through lane from the ramp.
