Can you change lanes on a solid yellow line?
1 Answers
You cannot change lanes on a solid yellow line. Changing lanes over a solid line constitutes a violation of traffic prohibition signs and markings, which typically results in a 3-point deduction. Below are specific details about changing lanes over solid lines: 1. Classification: Includes center single/double solid lines on urban roads, lane division lines in intersection solid areas, and dividing lines between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes. 2. Regulations: Traffic laws explicitly prohibit motor vehicles from crossing single/double solid lines. Violators are subject to fines and a 3-point penalty. Although single and double solid lines differ in severity, their legal effect is the same—motor vehicles are not allowed to cross them.
