Correct answer: White arrows painted on the lanes.
Answer options
- AFlashing yellow caution lights
- BSolid white lines along the road's edge

Why
Arrows painted inside a lane show which movements are allowed from it, such as turn only or straight ahead, so you can get into the correct lane early. White edge lines only mark the side of the roadway, and flashing yellow lights signal caution.
