What is a traffic lane?

  1. Lane designated for pedestrians

  2. Lane designated for emergency vehicles

  3. Lane on a roof

  4. Any lane on a street, road, or highway

The correct answer is: Any lane on a street, road, or highway

A traffic lane is defined as any marked-out area on a street, road, or highway that is designated for a single line of vehicles to travel within. This is why option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because traffic lanes are specifically for vehicles, not pedestrians. Option B is incorrect because emergency vehicles typically have their own designated lanes or routes for emergency situations, but they do not monopolize all traffic lanes. Option C is also incorrect as lanes are found on the surface of the road, not on roofs.
