The 'road marking' colour convention in India (IRC:35) is:
Choose the correct answer
Only yellow for all markings
White for carriageway lane and stop lines; yellow for no-overtaking centreline and no-parking kerb — per IRC:35
Red for all markings
No colour convention — up to state discretion
Correct Answer
B. White for carriageway lane and stop lines; yellow for no-overtaking centreline and no-parking kerb — per IRC:35
Why is this the answer?
IRC:35 (Code of Practice for Road Markings): White markings: (1) Carriageway lines (edge, lane, centreline); (2) Stop lines; (3) Pedestrian crossings (zebra). Yellow/amber markings: (1) No-parking zone kerb; (2) No overtaking centreline (on carriageway). Blue: accessible (disability) parking. In India: broken white = lane; solid white = no cross; double yellow = no overtaking (centreline of undivided 2-lane road).
