Can You Change Lanes Over a Solid Yellow Line?

[StKennedy]

Crossing a solid yellow line while changing lanes is considered a traffic violation. Here are the relevant details: 1. Yellow solid-dashed line: Typically painted before and after bridges and at sections where U-turns are allowed, it also serves to separate lanes traveling in opposite directions. Vehicles are prohibited from crossing or driving over the solid yellow line side, while the dashed line side permits temporary crossing or turning. 2. Function: Double solid yellow lines serve the same purpose as single solid yellow lines, prohibiting vehicles from crossing or driving over them in both directions. Double solid yellow lines are generally painted on roads with two or more lanes in one direction and no physical central divider.
