What are the penalties for changing lanes over solid lines on highways?

[SanVivian]

Changing lanes over solid lines on highways violates the traffic markings and is considered a traffic violation. According to relevant laws, this offense is subject to a fine and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. Since enforcement varies by region, such violations are often not captured by traffic cameras and are instead penalized by traffic police on the spot. However, if changing lanes over solid lines causes a traffic accident, the driver will be held responsible for the accident. In addition to prohibiting lane changes, solid lines on highways also forbid U-turns and turns, which are common mistakes made by new drivers. Therefore, it is crucial to drive carefully on highways, preferably at a reduced speed, to allow more reaction time for corrections and avoid violations. Whether it's a single yellow or white solid line or double yellow or white solid lines, crossing them is strictly prohibited. Sometimes, changing lanes over these lines constitutes driving in the opposite direction, which is extremely dangerous.
