How many points are deducted for crossing a yellow solid line?
2 Answers
Motor vehicles that do not follow traffic rules and cross a non-crossable yellow solid line will be deducted 3 points. Additional details are as follows: Yellow solid lines: Yellow solid lines are further divided into single yellow solid lines and double yellow solid lines. Single yellow solid lines are used to prohibit vehicles on both sides of the road from crossing or driving over the line to avoid unnecessary accidents. Single yellow solid lines are generally set on roads with only one lane in a single direction or roads with non-motorized vehicles. Function: Both double yellow solid lines and single yellow solid lines serve the same purpose—to prohibit vehicles on both sides of the road from crossing or driving over the line. They are typically set on roads with two or more lanes in a single direction. Yellow dashed lines also serve as road dividers, but unlike solid lines, they allow for U-turns and temporary crossing.
I'm totally qualified to speak on this! Just last week, I got caught by a traffic camera crossing a solid line - what a heartache. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, crossing it uniformly results in a 3-point deduction and 200 yuan fine nationwide. The most frustrating part is when the yellow paint at some intersections is worn and hard to see - just barely touching it with your wheels gets you photographed. A reminder to new drivers: treat yellow lines like walls, especially when turning as it's easy to accidentally cross them. Once at a three-way intersection near Wanda Plaza, I crossed a solid line to change lanes when suddenly an ambulance siren blared behind me - scared me so bad I jerked the steering wheel. Later learned that crossing solid lines is even more dangerous when it interferes with emergency vehicles. Developing good habits can really save both your points and your life.
