Road markings (also known as horizontal signage) are lines, symbols, figures, words, or numbers painted or marked directly on the pavement. According to Traffic Regulations, they have a threefold purpose: to regulate traffic (delimiting lanes or directions), to warn of special situations or hazards, and to guide road users.  They should not be confused with: Traffic lights: Light and color devices. Light signals: Variable message signs or beacons. The correct answer is the one referring to indications painted on the roadway, as this is their defining physical characteristic.
