What is Over-the-Line Parking?
1 Answers
Over-the-line parking refers to the act of stopping a vehicle immediately after it crosses the stop line when the traffic light is red. Below is a detailed explanation of over-the-line parking: 1. Definition: Over-the-line parking occurs when a vehicle fails to stop as required at an intersection while waiting for a traffic light, parking the vehicle beyond the designated stop line. 2. Regulations: At intersections with marked guide lanes, vehicles must enter the appropriate lane based on their intended direction of travel; vehicles preparing to enter a roundabout must yield to those already inside the intersection; when turning left, vehicles must turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Turn signals must be activated during turns, and low beams must be used at night; vehicles must proceed in sequence when the signal permits; when the signal stops, vehicles must stop in sequence behind the stop line. If there is no stop line, vehicles must stop before the intersection; when turning right and encountering a vehicle in the same lane waiting for the signal, vehicles must stop and wait in sequence; at intersections without directional signal lights, turning vehicles must yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. Right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.
