pavement markings

Street surface symbols

Pavement markings are the painted lines, symbols, and words applied to road surfaces to guide traffic.

They indicate lane boundaries, turning lanes, crosswalks, stop lines, and no-passing zones.

Yellow lines typically separate opposing traffic; white lines divide lanes moving the same direction.

The pavement markings had faded and needed repainting.
