How to Make a U-Turn Over Double Solid Lines?
2 Answers
Whether it's a single yellow line or double yellow lines, as long as they are solid lines, crossing them is strictly prohibited, including actions like overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross these lines. Whether it's a single yellow line or double yellow lines, if they are dashed lines, you can overtake or make a U-turn as long as it's safe to do so. If one line is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the side with the dashed line can temporarily cross it for actions like overtaking or turning.
This question reminds me of my years of driving experience. Double solid lines are two solid lines in the middle of the road, which means vehicles must never cross them to make a U-turn, overtake, or turn, as they divide opposing lanes to prevent collisions. Traffic rules clearly state that crossing double solid lines to make a U-turn is illegal and can result in a 200-yuan fine and penalty points. I've seen novice drivers take shortcuts by making U-turns at double solid lines, nearly causing accidents. The safe method is to drive to an area marked with dashed lines or a traffic light intersection, ensure there are no oncoming vehicles or pedestrians, then turn on the signal light and complete the U-turn smoothly. Remember, driving a few extra minutes patiently is always better than taking risks—road safety is everyone's responsibility. Also, pay attention to traffic signs, plan your route in advance, and avoid last-minute decisions. Developing these habits can make you and others feel more at ease on the road.
