Can you change lanes when there is a solid white line in the middle and dashed white lines on both sides?

When there is a solid line in the middle and dashed lines on both sides, you can change lanes. Dashed lines indicate that lane changes or switching lanes are allowed, while solid lines mean that lane changes or switching lanes are not permitted. Regarding yellow lines: 1. They are used to separate lanes of different directions, typically painted in the middle of the road, acting like a barrier dividing the road into two directions. 2. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's solid, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as for overtaking, turning, or making U-turns. 3. If the yellow line is dashed, whether single or double, you can overtake or make a U-turn safely when conditions allow. 4. Single yellow lines are generally used on roads with up to four lanes (including bicycle lanes), while double yellow lines are used on wider roads. 5. If one line of a double yellow line is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the side with the dashed line can temporarily cross it, such as for overtaking or turning.
