Revision question · Road and traffic signs

You're driving in fog on a three-lane motorway. Which lane are you in when you can see red reflective studs on your left and white reflective studs on your right?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

The hard shoulder

The middle lane

The right-hand lane

The left-hand lane

Show the answer

The left-hand laneThis was the right answer

Red studs identify the left edge of the carriageway and white studs divide traffic lanes. With red on your left and white on your right, you are in the left-hand lane. A red edge does not guarantee that a hard shoulder is present beyond it. Slow down in fog and never rely on studs to show that the road ahead is clear.
