Within beaconing signals, what is the function of horizontal road studs (reflectors)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Horizontal road studs, often known as 'cat's eyes', are retro-reflective guiding devices placed on the road surface. Their main objective is to highlight the limits of the roadway and guide traffic, being especially useful for marking road edges or defining the limits of roadworks (often in yellow) during low visibility or at night. They do not enforce rules by themselves but visually warn and guide drivers regarding the road layout.
