Roadway pavement markings are applied to the roads and highways by the Governing Road Authority. This can be the city, county, state or federal authority.
These markers are used to warn drivers, and to direct drivers in the proper direction.
(1) stop lines are white painted lines across an intersection. They are used to inform the driver, that he should not cross this line when he is stopping for a traffic control device.
(2) crosswalk lines are white painted lines across the pavement. They are often painted in a ladder configuration. These lines indicate an area where pedestrians can cross the roadway safely. Pedestrians in the crosswalk I have the right of way over motorized vehicles.
(3) Railroad crossing markings are marked with a large X and 2 R's. There are usually yellow lines placed on the right side of the centerline, and it is intended to prevent passing of other vehicles. Often times the railroad crossing will have a control arm and emergency lights. This is intended to warn the driver of any train.
(4) A centerline marked on the roadway is used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions.
(5) Traffic lane lines are intended to separate vehicles moving in the same direction. These lines are usually white dashes.
When an individual is driving a vehicle in a marked traffic lane, he is required to signal to other drivers his intention to change lanes. Failure to signal a lane change might result in a traffic ticket for failure to signal. A lane change, unless it is permitted, may result in a traffic ticket being issued for a lane change violation.

- Attorney Scott recently represented me and my mother both for traffic ticket charges. In both cases he got my mothers charge and my charge dismissed. He is a wonderful attorney and also a wonderful person. I can’t recommend him enough! Regina: Marietta, GA.
- I was moving along with the speed of traffic when I was pulled over. I was frightened, this was my first ticket ever. The police officer gave me a super speeder ticket. Attorney Miller got my speed reduced and my ticket dismissed. Hooray Attorney Miller, I will refer all my friends and family to you! Roeween: Buford GA.
- I was arrested for street racing in Alpharetta. Scott had helped me previously with a speeding ticket I called Attorney Miller when I was released from jail. Scott worked with the court and got my charge reduced. I had to pay a fine and go to traffic school. Simon
