Can You Cross the Yellow Line?

[Mckenzie]

Whether it's a single yellow line or a double yellow line, you cannot cross it. As long as it's a solid line, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as for overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Yellow lines are used to separate lanes in different directions, usually painted in the middle of the road, acting like a divider that splits the road into two directions. Generally, a single yellow line can appear in two different positions on the road, each with a distinct meaning. One type is the single yellow line set at the edge of the road. If it's a solid line, it indicates that parking is not fully allowed on the side of the road, and even stopping for a second is a violation. If it's a dashed line, it means vehicles can make short stops on this road. A double yellow line is a common traffic marking on roads, consisting of two parallel solid yellow lines. Double yellow lines are usually placed in the middle of roads without a central divider, separating opposite traffic directions and dividing incoming and outgoing vehicles with ground markings. Under normal circumstances, regular vehicles are not allowed to cross this line.
