Where would you find green reflective studs on a motorway?
- A Separating driving lanes
- B Between the hard shoulder and the carriageway
- C At slip-road entrances and exits
- D Between the carriageway and the central reservation
Why this is the answer
Knowing the colours of the reflective studs on the road will help you judge your position, especially at night, in foggy conditions or when visibility is poor.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Separating driving lanes — White studs are what separate one lane from the next.
- B
- Between the hard shoulder and the carriageway — Red studs mark the edge beside the hard shoulder.
- D
- Between the carriageway and the central reservation — Amber studs run along the right-hand edge, by the central reservation.

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.
