Can you change lanes over a solid white line?

[VanClayton]

Solid white lines cannot be crossed for lane changes. They are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, indicating that vehicles must stay within their lane and not cross into another lane going the same direction. Changing lanes by crossing a solid white line is considered a traffic violation for crossing the line illegally and may result in penalties. If an accident occurs while changing lanes over a solid white line, the driver will bear primary responsibility. According to regulations, vehicles and pedestrians must follow traffic signals. When directed by a traffic officer on site, they must follow the officer's instructions. On roads without traffic signals, they should proceed under the principle of ensuring safety and smooth traffic flow. Another common type is the solid yellow line, which separates lanes traveling in opposite directions, usually painted in the middle of the road like a divider. Unless under special circumstances, drivers should not cross this line while driving.
