You can change lanes with a solid line and zigzag lines on both sides. The principles and methods for changing lanes are as follows: Principles for changing lanes: Check the mirrors: Be cautious when changing lanes or turning; never do so arbitrarily. Before turning, always observe the situation in the mirrors thoroughly and understand the conditions on both sides and behind the vehicle. Do not turn unless you have a clear view in the mirrors. Methods for changing lanes: Signal early when turning or changing lanes, move to the side in advance, and turn smoothly. Always slow down before entering or exiting non-motorized lanes and yield to vehicles and pedestrians going straight. Slow operation: When exiting a gate or turning from a small road onto a main road, slow down, wait, and ensure you have a clear view of the road conditions on both sides.
When driving on the road, I often encounter those solid lines with sawtooth markings on both sides – absolutely no lane changes are allowed in such situations. The solid line itself indicates that crossing lanes is prohibited, while the sawtooth pattern serves as an additional warning, typically appearing near turns or intersections to alert drivers of special risks here. I remember once seeing someone force a lane change at highway sawtooth solid lines, which resulted in a rear-end collision – it was a nerve-wracking scene. From driving experience, obeying these rules can significantly reduce accident rates. Lane changes should only be made at dashed lines or permitted safe points, otherwise you’re likely to get penalty points and fines. In short, always observe road markings while driving – protecting your own and others’ safety is the top priority.
