Is it a violation to have one wheel crossing the solid line?
1 Answers
Having one wheel crossing the solid line is a violation. Definition of crossing the line: A solid line is a type of road marking. Crossing the line refers to the wheel crossing the line, which falls under the scope of the driving test (Subject 2). Vehicles must drive according to regulations, and crossing a solid line constitutes a violation of prohibited markings. According to Article 44 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, motor vehicles passing through intersections must do so in accordance with traffic signals, signs, markings, or the direction of traffic police. When passing through intersections without traffic signals, signs, markings, or traffic police direction, vehicles must slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way. Cases where crossing the line does not result in penalties: In emergency situations ahead, bypassing by crossing the solid line will not be penalized. For example, if there is a traffic accident or obstruction ahead that prevents passage, vehicles behind must bypass by crossing the solid line and will not be considered in violation. Crossing the line under the direction of on-site traffic police will not result in a fine. If crossing the line under police direction is captured by electronic surveillance, the driver can apply to the traffic police department to have the violation dismissed. Special vehicles performing duties that cross the line to yield will not be fined. If penalized, the driver can request a review of the penalty. The traffic police will review the surveillance footage and may revoke the penalty if justified.
