Rumble strips on the right-hand edge of the carriageway, usually placed on the hard shoulder along the road marking that edges the right-hand lane, are there to alert the driver if they drift out of their lane. These strips, also known as «sound strips», cause vibration and noise when the vehicle's tyres run over them, warning the driver that they are leaving their lane. This helps to prevent accidents, especially in situations of tiredness, distraction or drowsiness at the wheel.
