Rumble stripEs are essentially rumble strips cut into the pavement where the white edge lines are placed. After the rumble strips are ground in, the white line is marked right over the rumble strips. The advantage of the rumble stripEs is that the white line is much more visible in the rain and the rumble strip provides warning to a motorist who strays from the driving lane.

 

The rumble stripEs are being placed on a wide variety of highway types including some that have no shoulder.
