Your score is

Pavement markings include lines, arrows, and symbols painted on the road to guide drivers. White lines separate lanes moving in the same direction, while yellow lines divide opposing traffic. Solid lines indicate no passing zones, and broken lines allow passing when safe. Arrows show required lane movements, and special symbols mark crosswalks, stop lines, and bicycle lanes. The test evaluates your ability to recognize and follow these markings, ensuring new drivers understand how to navigate roads safely and follow traffic regulations.
