Can the highway grid line be crossed?
3 Answers
Highway grid lines must not be crossed. Similar to the double yellow lines in the middle of the road, grid lines are prohibited markings where vehicles are not allowed to stop temporarily or for extended periods. If a vehicle stops within this area, it violates the corresponding regulations for prohibited markings, and the driver will be fined and receive 3 penalty points. Locations where grid lines are used: Grid lines are painted on the roads in front of larger institutions and units requiring emergency dispatch (such as fire stations, hospitals, etc.); they are also painted at roadside three-way intersections (where traffic lights are inconvenient to install) but where vehicles frequently enter and exit. Do not enter the yellow box if there is a vehicle ahead: When there is a vehicle waiting at a red light on the opposite side of the yellow box, incoming vehicles from behind must wait at the other end of the yellow box and must not enter the yellow box area to wait for the red light; otherwise, it constitutes a traffic violation.
The grid lines on highways must never be driven over or parked on, as this is strictly prohibited by traffic regulations. I've seen many accident cases where crossing these lines causes intersection blockages and increases the risk of rear-end collisions. With decades of driving experience, I always slow down and observe carefully when approaching such areas to ensure I don't cross the lines. Safety is no trivial matter, especially on highways where high speeds can turn small oversights into major disasters. Following the rules not only protects yourself but also keeps traffic flowing smoothly, avoiding fines and penalty points. Developing good driving habits is paramount.
Having driven for half a lifetime, I'm quite familiar with highway grid markings. They're signs prohibiting stopping or crossing in specific areas, and driving over them will get you caught on camera and fined. From my experience, grid lines at entrances or intersections are designed to prevent congestion. I remember a time when a friend stopped over the line, not only getting fined 200 yuan but also causing a minor scrape. Staying alert while driving, slowing down and yielding when encountering grid lines, is both smart and hassle-free. Road safety depends on everyone's cooperation.
