Australia: Edge line. Most of Australia, especially my state, rarely gets fog.
Quote:
Edge lines mark the edge of the road. The area to the left of the edge line is called the shoulder of the road and is not an extra lane for vehicles to travel. Cyclists may travel on the road shoulder.
[blah blah blah; motorbikes can use shoulder in specific circumstances, etc, etc] (p.s. As you may know, we drive on the correct side, which is to say the left.)

You may be right for the lesser populated areas of the continent, but believe me, the SE quarter (which supports the majority of the population, including myself) is definitely subject to fog. Oh, ABC news published this[^] about a week ago. btw, you can edit your profile to correct your country of residence.

That's probably what I would have called it in the distant past. And yes, I've met the yellow and red flavours in the UK and Singapore. Here, we don't have those lines, but they do paint the kerb red for "no stopping".

Red line/red curb here( left pond ) indicates fire lane/fire truck lane. Tow away zone. Line means don’t cross. White line/dash is a separator for traffic moving the same direction. Yellow line/dash is a separator for traffic moving the opposite direction.
