lane marker

Painted highway line

Lane markers are the painted lines, reflectors, or raised elements on a road surface that define traffic lanes.

White markers separate lanes moving in the same direction; yellow markers separate opposing traffic.

Raised reflectors (cat's eyes or Botts' dots) supplement painted lines, especially for nighttime visibility.

The lane markers were worn and barely visible.
