A method of maintaining lateral lane position of a vehicle traveling on a roadway includes detecting a magnetic field from a surface of the roadway, where the surface includes a magnetic or magnetized material, and adjusting a lateral position of the vehicle on the roadway such that the magnetic field has a maximum signal at a predetermined location on the vehicle, e.g., at or near a centerline of the vehicle. The magnetic or magnetized material may be localized to a longitudinal segment of the surface approximately centered between lane lines or at another desired location. Detection of the magnetic field may take place continuously while the vehicle is moving.
