Yield lines, also known as “shark’s teeth,” consist of a line of solid white triangles across a lane of traffic pointing towards approaching vehicles. This line indicates the point where the vehicle must yield/stop.
What Are the White Lines on the Road Called?
The white lines on the road are called pavement markings. They are used to mark the edges of the road, indicate lane changes, and show other important information to drivers.
Pavement markings are made of paint, tape, or thermoplastic. They are usually white, but can be other colors as well. Pavement markings are an important part of road safety.
They help drivers stay in their lane, and they can be used to warn drivers of potential hazards. Pavement markings are also used to indicate the location of crosswalks, stop signs, and other important information.
Pavement markings are constantly being worn down by traffic, so they must be regularly refreshed. In some cases, pavement markings may need to be completely replaced.
If you have any questions about pavement markings, or if you need to have your pavement markings replaced, you should contact a qualified road safety professional.
