Can You Change Lanes When There's a Dotted Line Next to a Solid Line?

[DeSimon]

One side is a dotted line and the other is a solid line. You can change lanes in this case, but only from the dotted line side to the solid line side, and the lane change must be completed within the dotted line segment. If you exceed the end of the dotted line, it counts as driving over the line. Here are some precautions to take when changing lanes at a dotted line: 1. Violations: During peak traffic hours, do not force a lane change, as this may disrupt the normal flow of traffic behind you and could result in penalty points or fines. Additionally, when waiting in line at a traffic light, if the queue extends to the dotted line area, some drivers might try to squeeze into the adjacent lane if the vehicles there are slow to start. This is also considered a violation. 2. No consecutive lane changes: Even if the road is clear, you cannot change more than two lanes consecutively in a dotted line lane. Consecutive lane changes are a violation and can result in a 3-point deduction and a fine.
