road stripe

Painted highway line

Road stripe refers to the painted lines on paved roads that guide traffic flow and lane boundaries.

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

A solid stripe means no crossing; broken stripes allow passing or lane changes.

The road stripes were faded and barely visible.
