Correct!

The road must be more recent than the fault movement because if we take away the road, the picture still makes sense. This illustrates a condition that logically could have existed at some time in the past.

So if A cuts B, A is usually more recent than B.

The road cuts the fault, so the road is more recent than the fault.
