Crossing a solid line results in a 3-point deduction. Riding over or crossing solid lines on highways is a traffic violation. According to traffic safety laws, violating prohibited markings on highways carries the same penalties as doing so within city limits, including fines and a 3-point deduction. However, there are exceptions where no points are deducted but fines still apply. Typically, crossing solid lines occurs at ramp entrances. If a collision blocks the lane at a ramp entrance, crossing the solid line to detour is permitted. Lines that must not be crossed on highways include: White solid lines: These are common prohibited markings used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, often marking the edges of emergency lanes or ramps. Crossing or riding over white solid lines is highly dangerous. Guide lines: Most commonly found at complex ramp entrances, these guide vehicles transitioning from the highway to the ramp. Triangular in shape with striped fill, some vehicles unable to enter the ramp from dashed lines due to high speed may cross these guidelines, which is unsafe and increases collision risks with ramp vehicles. Traffic deceleration lines: Highway deceleration lines come in longitudinal and transverse forms. Longitudinal lines resemble fishbone patterns, reminding drivers to slow down. Check whether the center is solid or dashed—solid centers must not be crossed or ridden over. Transverse deceleration lines are usually placed within solid line segments, composed of parallel solid lines, and must not be crossed or ridden over sideways.
