The term ?gore? means

Correct answer

  • the median between two lanes of traffic.
  • a middle lane of traffic.
  • the area of convergence or divergence between two lanes of traffic.

Explanation

The gore is the roughly triangular area formed by solid white lines between an existing lane of travel and a merging lane of travel. Gores are most often seen at the convergence of an acceleration lane and the adjacent travel lane on a controlled-access highway. The gore is the area bounded by solid white lines between the acceleration lane and the adjacent travel lane. It is illegal for drivers entering the controlled-access highway to cross this solid white line. They are required to continue traveling in the acceleration lane until the solid white line disappears. Gores can also be seen at the divergence of a deceleration lane from the adjacent travel lane.
