Question 5075

Which part of the road is intended for passenger car traffic?

  1. The median.
  2. The roadway.
  3. The shoulder.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The roadway.

Passenger cars and other vehicles travel on the roadway, which is divided into lanes. In the image, it has two lanes, one for each direction, and the green passenger car is in its own lane. A passenger car only uses the shoulder in exceptional cases, such as a breakdown, and you never drive on the median, which separates two roadways.
