How to drive when one side of the double yellow line is solid and the other is dashed?
1 Answers
When there is a dashed line on one side and a solid line on the other, lane changes are allowed. Only the side with the dashed line can cross into the lane with the solid line, and the lane change must be completed within the dashed segment. If you exceed the end of the dashed line, it is considered driving over the line. Below are some precautions to note when changing lanes in a dashed segment: 1. Violations: During peak traffic hours, do not force a lane change, as this may affect the normal flow of traffic behind you and could result in points deduction or fines. Additionally, when waiting in line at a traffic light, if the queue extends to the dashed segment, some drivers may try to squeeze into the adjacent lane if the vehicles there start moving slowly. This is also considered a violation. 2. No continuous lane changes: Even if the road is clear, you cannot change more than two lanes consecutively in a dashed segment. Continuous lane changes are a violation and may result in a 3-point deduction and a fine.
