Can solid white lines be crossed?
1 Answers
No. Solid white lines are not allowed to be crossed. They often appear as extensions of dashed white lines before intersections. In conjunction with traffic guidance signs at intersections, single solid lines separate straight-going vehicles from left- and right-turning vehicles to prevent straight-going vehicles from affecting turning vehicles. Penalty: Motor vehicles that cross or drive over solid white lines will be subject to fines. The following are three reasons why crossing solid white lines generally does not result in fines or penalty points: 1. Accidents or vehicle breakdowns ahead: If a vehicle ahead is parked for a long time, blocking traffic, under the premise of ensuring safety, vehicles can cross the solid line to change lanes. If penalized, you can apply to the traffic police for penalty removal; 2. Under traffic police direction: During traffic congestion, if you cross the solid line under the direction of a traffic officer, electronic police may still capture the violation as they cannot assess the situation. You can apply to have the penalty removed; 3. Yielding to special vehicles: If you yield to emergency vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks with special tasks behind you, and there is a violation record, you can request footage from the traffic police to confirm that crossing the white line was due to yielding to the special vehicle, and the penalty can be removed.
