When driving daily, the yellow road markings encountered mainly include single yellow dashed lines, single yellow solid lines, yellow dashed-solid lines, double yellow solid lines, and yellow grid lines. Different types of yellow markings have different meanings, as detailed below: Single Yellow Dashed Line: Yellow dashed lines are also used to separate lanes in different directions, typically found on narrower roads. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's dashed, drivers can cross the line to overtake or make a U-turn, provided it is safe to do so. Single Yellow Solid Line: Single yellow solid lines are used on roads with fewer central lanes, strictly prohibiting vehicles from crossing. Thus, driving on the line, overtaking, or making a U-turn is not allowed. When a yellow solid line is painted on the roadside or curb, it indicates that vehicles are prohibited from parking, either temporarily or for extended periods. Yellow Dashed-Solid Line: Yellow dashed-solid lines often appear at locations where ramps or bridges merge into main roads. Vehicles on the dashed side are allowed to temporarily cross the line for overtaking or U-turns, while vehicles on the solid side are prohibited from crossing, as doing so would be a violation. Double Yellow Solid Lines: Yellow solid lines are used to separate lanes in opposite directions, usually painted in the middle of the road. Double yellow lines strictly prohibit vehicles from crossing, meaning driving on the line, overtaking, or making a U-turn is not allowed. Yellow Grid Lines: Parking is prohibited in areas marked with yellow grid lines. These markings indicate zones where stopping for any reason is forbidden and are commonly found in places prone to congestion due to temporary parking, such as schools, offices, residential areas, fire lanes, and intersections. While parking is not allowed, U-turns are permitted in these areas unless explicitly prohibited. Road Markings: These are lines, arrows, text, raised markers, and other indicators on the road surface that convey guidance, restrictions, and warnings to road users. Their purpose is to regulate and guide traffic, and they can be used in conjunction with signs or independently. In addition to yellow markings, common white markings include the following types: White Dashed Line: When painted on road sections, they separate traffic moving in the same direction or serve as safe distance indicators. At intersections, they guide vehicle movement. White Solid Line: When painted on road sections, they separate motor vehicles from non-motor vehicles or indicate the edge of a lane. At intersections, they can serve as guide lanes or stop lines. Double White Dashed Lines: At intersections, they function as yield lines. On road sections, they indicate reversible lanes that change direction over time. Double White Solid Lines: At intersections, they serve as stop lines.

How long after completing the subject one training can you schedule the exam?

Generally, it takes 3-7 days for the review after completing the subject one training before you can schedule the exam. Below is the relevant information: 1. Exam application: After studying traffic regulations, the driving school applies for a training quota to the vehicle management office. Upon approval, the student is notified to take the traffic regulations exam. After passing subject one, the driving school will issue a driving skill test permit in order based on the date of passing the exam for students who have completed the training. 2. Exam content: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; the overall structure of motor vehicles, the functions of main components, daily inspection, maintenance, and use of vehicles, methods for judging and troubleshooting common faults, and other knowledge about motor vehicle structure and maintenance; safe driving knowledge for highways, adverse weather conditions, complex roads, and dangerous situations, general knowledge of first aid for the injured, knowledge of hazardous materials transportation and handling of emergencies, civilized driving and professional ethics, and other safe driving-related knowledge.

Why does the car still blow hot air when the AC is turned on?

When the car's AC is turned on but still blows hot air, it could be due to compressor failure or temperature sensor malfunction. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Compressor failure: If the compressor load is too high, causing the compressor temperature to rise excessively, it will automatically activate protection; if the compressor load is too high or gets stuck due to a malfunction, the generator may suddenly deliver excessive current, triggering the compressor's overcurrent protection. 2. Temperature sensor malfunction: If the air conditioning load is too heavy or heat dissipation is poor, causing the condenser temperature to rise too high, the signal from the temperature sensor will cause the air conditioning compressor to stop working. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in a vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

What to Do When the Car Indicates Low Tire Pressure?

When the car indicates low tire pressure, the following steps can be taken: 1. If it shows insufficient tire pressure right after inflation, recalibrate the tire pressure on the central console. 2. If it indicates insufficient tire pressure some time after inflation but there is no puncture in the tire, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel hub. It is recommended to check the wheel hub and replace it if necessary. Here is more information about car tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure is an indicator of a car's load capacity. The load capacity of a car depends on the level of tire pressure. According to the relationship between the tire's load index, tire pressure, and load capacity, higher tire pressure means greater load capacity, while lower pressure means reduced load capacity. 2. Improper selection of tire pressure can also reduce comfort. Over-inflation increases the rigidity of the tire, leading to higher vibration frequency and poorer ride smoothness. Appropriately reducing the pressure can improve ride smoothness.

BMW Window Glass Lifting Malfunction Issue?

The reason for the window glass lifting malfunction is deformation or damage to the glass mud slot; loose screws fixing the lifter; or damage to the window lifter. Below are the solutions for the window glass lifting malfunction and the classification of automotive glass: Solutions for Window Glass Lifting Malfunction: Turn on the ignition switch, pull and hold the switch upwards, continue holding for more than 3 seconds after the glass reaches the top, release the switch and immediately press and hold it downwards until the glass descends to the bottom for more than 3 seconds, then repeat the upward action once more. The initialization procedure is completed, and the window lifting function is restored. This method is effective for most vehicle models. If restoration is unsuccessful, it is necessary to go to a regular repair shop for inspection. Classification of Automotive Glass: Mainly divided into laminated glass, tempered glass, and regional tempered glass, which can withstand strong impacts.

How Long Does It Generally Take to Learn Subject 2?

Subject 2 generally requires two weeks of practice to master. Below is a brief introduction to Subject 2: 1. Exam Scheduling: According to the 'Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching and Examination Syllabus,' C1 and C2 driver's licenses require 16 and 14 hours of training, respectively, before scheduling the exam. The maximum training hours per day are limited to 4, so it takes at least 4 days just to complete the required hours. Additionally, after completing the training hours, there is a waiting period of 1-3 days for the training information to be uploaded and reviewed. Once approved, scheduling the exam takes another 3-5 days for the results to be announced. 2. Exam Content: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For C1 and C2 licenses, the exam includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as high-speed card collection.
