These markings include solid and broken lines, arrows, and symbols painted on the road surface. A solid line means no passing, while a broken line allows passing when it’s safe. Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions, and white lines separate lanes moving the same way. Arrows indicate turning lanes or directions, guiding drivers at intersections. Recognizing and obeying these markings is crucial for both safety and passing the knowledge test in Quebec.
