Can you change lanes on a solid white line on the highway?
1 Answers
You cannot change lanes on a solid white line on the highway. Driving over a solid white line is considered a violation of traffic prohibition signs, resulting in a fine and 3 demerit points. Lane dividing lines are traffic markings used to separate traffic flows moving in the same direction, generally consisting of white dashed/solid lines or yellow dashed/solid lines. Below is more detailed information: 1. White dashed lines separate lanes moving in the same direction, allowing lane changes or overtaking when safe. White solid lines also separate same-direction lanes but prohibit lane changes. 2. Yellow solid lines separate lanes moving in opposite directions or sometimes same-direction lanes, serving as either dividing lines or centerlines, where lane changes are prohibited. 3. Yellow dashed lines can function as either dividing lines or centerlines, allowing lane changes when used as dividing lines.
