What colour are the reflective studs between a motorway and a slip road?
- A Amber
- B White
- C Green
- D Red
Why this is the answer
The studs between the carriageway and the hard shoulder are normally red. These change to green where there's a slip road, helping you to identify slip roads when visibility is poor or when it's dark.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Amber — Amber is the right-hand edge, beside the central reservation.
- B
- White — White is what you find between the lanes.
- D
- Red — Red is the left-hand edge where there is no slip road.
Where this comes from
- Driving: the essential skills — section 11
- The Highway Code — rule 132

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
