What do solid white lines indicate on the road?

• A. The edges of the road.
• B. They separate traffic moving in opposite directions.
• C. A crosswalk ahead.
• D. Park in this zone.

Answer: (A)

Solid white edge lines mark the boundary of the drivable road. They show where the pavement ends and the shoulder begins, so you should stay on the pavement and not drive onto or across that line. This is different from yellow lines that separate opposing directions, and from crosswalk markings or parking indicators.
