What Do White and Yellow Solid Lines Mean?

[VonAlexis]

Yellow solid lines serve to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. Think of them as a wall or fence dividing the road into two directions. White solid lines, on the other hand, are used to separate lanes moving in the same direction. Below are some relevant details: 1. Penalties: Crossing a white solid line constitutes a lane violation and typically results in a fine. Crossing a yellow solid line is considered driving against traffic, which carries a penalty of 3 demerit points and a fine. 2. Parking: When a yellow solid line is present along the roadside, it indicates that parking is prohibited, whether for extended periods or temporarily. If the roadside has a white solid line, temporary parking is generally allowed unless there is a no-parking sign. If both yellow and white solid lines are present along the roadside, parking is still prohibited, and violators will face demerit points and fines if caught.
