Can you drive over grid lines?
1 Answers
Grid lines cannot be driven over. Grid lines typically appear at the entrances of schools or large enterprises, and some important national institutions also have grid lines at their entrances. Parking is not allowed on grid lines to prevent these areas from being blocked when vehicles from these institutions need to enter or exit. Even in the event of traffic congestion, the grid lines should be left clear, and vehicles should not stop on them. Below are several situations where driving over lines is prohibited: Yellow solid lines: Currently, yellow solid lines in China come in two types: double yellow lines and single yellow lines. Essentially, they are prohibition lines, generally used to separate opposing traffic. If a yellow solid line is in the middle of the road, whether it's a double or single yellow line, it cannot be crossed. White solid lines: White solid lines are the most common road markings. They are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, helping drivers stay on their intended path. White solid lines appear on urban roads and intersections, standardizing driving routes and significantly improving traffic safety. When driving at a crossroads or T-junction and encountering white solid lines, drivers must exit the lane before making a turn; otherwise, the rear wheels may cross the solid line. While driving on roads with white solid lines, drivers should not drive side by side with other vehicles for extended periods or change lanes arbitrarily. On highways, the presence of white solid lines may indicate a relatively high safety risk, suggesting a higher likelihood of traffic accidents. Yellow grid lines: The purpose of yellow grid lines is to prohibit parking. They are most commonly found at the main entrances of government buildings. Parking is not allowed in areas marked with yellow grid lines, as doing so could obstruct vehicles exiting the premises and cause traffic congestion. Vehicles must not stop in these areas.
