Can you cross the yellow dashed line?
1 Answers
Yellow dashed lines can be crossed. According to traffic rules, a single yellow dashed line allows overtaking or making a U-turn when it is safe to do so; therefore, it is permissible to drive over the line under safe conditions. 2. Article 45 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that motor vehicles shall not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings on the road. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles shall not exceed the following maximum speeds: on roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the maximum speed in urban areas is 50 kilometers per hour. According to this regulation, if there is no speed limit sign here, the maximum speed is 50 kilometers per hour. 3. Generally, road markings are mostly white. White dashed lines separate lanes traveling in the same direction and allow lane changes or crossing the line, while solid white lines prohibit crossing and often appear as extensions of dashed lines before intersections or to separate roadside parking areas. 4. Yellow solid lines are used to separate lanes traveling in opposite directions, usually painted in the middle of the road. Roads with multiple lanes have double yellow lines, while roads with fewer lanes use single yellow lines. Regardless of whether it is a single or double yellow line, vehicles are strictly prohibited from crossing, so driving over the line, overtaking, or making a U-turn is not allowed.
