lane markers

Painted highway lines

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

They guide drivers and separate lanes moving in the same or opposite directions.

White markers typically separate same-direction traffic; yellow markers divide opposing traffic: The lane markers were barely visible in the rain.
