What do you call the white line on the outer edge of the road when there is no kerb? (leftpond: curb)
I know what I (and my firefighting colleagues) call it, but I'm interested in the wider world's usage.

That's what we call it, but I'm pretty sure I didn't know the term until about 20 years ago.
And I'd been a licensed driver for 40 odd years by then.

In my state its generally considered a no-passing line. Snow line would not make sense in many US states.

Huh? and huh?
I was referring to the line along the EDGE of the road, not a centre line.
I never mentioned snow.

I meant white line on side of road. If the side of the road is paved shoulder, you can use it stop temporarily (car breaks down, etc). The white separates the main lane from the shoulder (if any). This means one cannot use that part of the road for passing unless exiting the road or the road is temporarily block. States may vary on these rules. Sorry I mixed up fog and snow. Doh.

In the UK, it's the "Edge line": THE HIGHWAY CODE ... Signs and Signals ... Road markings[^] but there are other names (and functions) if it is non-white.

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".

I wasn't aware of, or had forgootten, that. And since few roads have that line ... at least round the Surrey hills.

It may have been introduced since you passed your test (and since I did as well).
I think it's mostly used on dual carriageway and motorways to help with slip roads and lane discipline at night.

According to National Highways it has now been replaced by potholes.

I think they are painting them white round here, and calling 'em roundabouts.

I appreciate the "rumble stripes", both on the shoulder and between lanes. A nice reminder that you are not correctly positioned in your lane, especially in fog or darkness (or both).
They are certainly not omnipresent on Norwegian roads, but they are gradually becoming more common. I definitely prefer them to potholes!

We call it "shoulder" as the edge of the road...

Yes, the term "road shoulder" is pretty universal, I think.
I was specifically asking about the white line marking the edge of the roadway.
