What are the white solid lines on both sides of the road?
1 Answers
Road markings on both sides of the white solid line are the boundary lines of the motor vehicle lane, used to separate the motor vehicle lane from the non-motor vehicle lane or sidewalk. Through road traffic markings, motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians can be separated, improving road utilization and reducing or preventing traffic accidents. Traffic markings can be used in conjunction with traffic signs and signals, or they can be used alone. On the side with the dashed line, lane changes are allowed, and overtaking is also permitted. On the side with the solid line, lane changes are not allowed, and crossing the line is prohibited. The main purpose is to divert vehicles to alleviate traffic congestion and avoid unnecessary accidents. In areas with cameras or at traffic light intersections, penalties may be imposed for crossing the solid line. Double yellow lines, one solid and one dashed: vehicles on the side with the dashed line can temporarily cross, such as for overtaking or turning. Yellow lines are used to separate lanes in different directions and are generally painted in the middle of the road. Single yellow solid line: usually painted on roads with only one lane in a single direction or one motor vehicle lane and one non-motor vehicle lane, or in sections where overtaking is prohibited due to other hazards. Vehicles in both directions are prohibited from crossing or pressing the line. Double yellow solid lines: usually painted on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in a single direction and without a physical central divider. Vehicles in both directions are also prohibited from crossing or pressing the line. Yellow dashed line: generally appears on non-intersection two-way lanes. Vehicles are allowed to cross, but must be cautious to yield to vehicles in the opposite lane.
