How is continuous lane changing on solid lines penalized?
1 Answers
Continuous lane changing on solid lines is considered a violation of prohibited traffic markings by motor vehicles, which will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. Violating prohibited traffic markings includes actions such as driving, parking, failing to yield, or illegally occupying lanes where prohibited, such as changing lanes on solid lines, making U-turns in no-U-turn zones, or turning in no-turn zones—all of which constitute violations of prohibited traffic markings. Generally, the term 'violating prohibited traffic markings' refers to crossing solid yellow lines. The new traffic regulations specify the following as violations: 1. Driving in violation of prohibited traffic markings, which include solid yellow lines (indicating no crossing of the central divider) and yellow X markings (indicating no parking). Crossing these lines constitutes a violation. 2. Driving behaviors such as changing lanes on solid lines, making U-turns in no-U-turn zones, or turning left in no-left-turn zones. 3. Both single and double solid yellow lines are prohibited markings. Crossing or straddling these lines during driving is illegal, as is failing to follow directional markings in the corresponding lane at intersections. 4. Making U-turns in no-U-turn zones or turning left in no-left-turn zones. Any of the above behaviors will result in a fine of 200 yuan and a 3-point deduction.
