Is it a violation to cross the yellow line of the opposite lane when turning left?
1 Answers
Crossing the yellow line of the opposite lane when turning left is considered a traffic violation. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," it will result in a deduction of 3 points. Additionally, fines may be imposed under the "Road Traffic Safety Law." While the violation can be confirmed, whether there will be a penalty depends on whether the surveillance cameras capture the incident. Motor vehicle violations of prohibited markings include the following situations: 1. Crossing or driving over single or double solid yellow lines during travel. 2. Parking temporarily or for an extended period in no-parking zones. 3. Making a U-turn in areas where it is prohibited, or turning left at intersections where left turns are forbidden, both of which constitute violations of prohibited markings. Prohibited markings include solid yellow lines on the road and no-parking signs; crossing them violates the prohibited markings. 4. Not driving in the appropriate lane as indicated by the road markings at intersections also constitutes a violation of prohibited markings.
