Can You Cross a Solid Yellow Line?
1 Answers
Solid yellow lines cannot be crossed. The purpose of solid yellow lines is to prohibit vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in both directions. Solid yellow lines are typically marked on roads with only one lane in a single direction or one motor vehicle lane and one non-motorized vehicle lane, as well as on sections where overtaking is prohibited due to other hazards. Yellow lines are used to separate lanes in different directions, usually painted in the middle of the road, acting like a divider to separate the road into two directions. Double solid yellow lines: These are used to divide roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in each direction without a central divider, strictly prohibiting vehicles from crossing the line to overtake or driving over the line. Center double yellow dashed lines: These are usually placed at intersections, often found on roads with low traffic volume. On sections with center double yellow dashed lines, vehicles may cross the line to enter the intersection after confirming the surrounding safety. Double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed: In this marking, one side is dashed, and the other is solid. The dashed side allows crossing the line for overtaking or making a U-turn, while the solid side prohibits crossing or driving over the line.
