Can You Make a U-Turn Over a Single Yellow Line?

[VanAdeline]

Single solid yellow lines cannot be crossed for a U-turn, while single dashed yellow lines allow U-turns under safe conditions. Here are the specific details about single yellow lines: 1. Single solid yellow lines must not be crossed, hence U-turns are prohibited. Single dashed yellow lines may be crossed for U-turns or lane changes when traffic laws and right-of-way rules are followed, provided it is safe. 2. Generally, solid yellow lines are used to separate lanes and are painted along the center of the road. Roads with four or more lanes typically use double solid yellow lines, while narrower roads use single solid yellow lines to minimize space taken by lane markings. 3. Dashed yellow lines are usually marked on narrower roads to separate opposing traffic lanes. When safe, drivers may cross them for overtaking or making U-turns.
