Can you change lanes on a yellow dashed line?
1 Answers
Yellow dashed lines allow lane changes. Purpose: Yellow dashed lines are used to separate lanes traveling in opposite directions, typically installed on narrower roads. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's dashed, you can cross it to overtake or make a U-turn. Solid vs. Dashed Lines: Solid lines indicate that crossing is prohibited, meaning lane changes are not allowed. Dashed lines, however, mean you can cross them to change lanes. If you encounter a yellow dashed line on the road, as long as you are within the dashed area and follow traffic light signals and yielding rules, you can make a U-turn or change lanes. White Dashed Lines: These separate lanes traveling in the same direction, allowing lane changes and similar maneuvers. They often appear as extensions of white dashed lines before intersections or to delineate roadside parking areas.
