Can you change lanes on a solid yellow line?
1 Answers
No, solid lines indicate that crossing the line is prohibited, meaning you should drive without changing lanes. Here is more related information: Solid yellow line: Yellow lines are used to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions, usually painted in the middle of the road like a barrier dividing the road into two directions. As long as it is a solid line, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as for overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Unless there are special circumstances, you should not cross the line while driving. Solid white line: White lines are used to separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Solid lines mean you cannot merge or change lanes arbitrarily. The purpose of solid white lines is to divide lanes moving in the same direction, typically painted before traffic lights at intersections. Many drivers are caught violating traffic rules by crossing these lines, which are the most common type of markings involved in such violations.
