WHITE MARKINGS

WHITE is the color for all markings except those that are specifically required to be yellow and except for special red and blue raised pavement markers (reflectors mounted on or in the pavement). Lane lines are always WHITE. Edgelines along the right side of any roadway or ramp are always WHITE. Transverse lines are always WHITE, except for cross-hatching markings in medians or safety zones separating opposing traffic flows or in left shoulders, which are yellow. Arrows, words, and symbol markings (except the special red, white, and blue Interstate route shield symbol marking) are always WHITE. Speed hump markings and parking space markings are always WHITE.
