What is the difference between white and yellow lines on the road?
1 Answers
Yellow lines and white lines mainly differ in their functions. A solid yellow line at an intersection is used to indicate areas where non-motorized vehicles are prohibited from entering or to connect adjacent road centerlines as intersection guide lines. A solid white line at an intersection serves as a guide lane line or stop line, or is used to direct the path of vehicle movement. Below are some daily driving precautions for automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Starting and Parking: Automatic transmission vehicles can only be started in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear, so always confirm the gear is in P or N before ignition. 2. Stopping at Red Lights: If the red light duration is very short, there is no need to shift gears—simply hold the brake. For longer waits, it is recommended to shift to N gear and engage the handbrake. There was a previous belief that shifting to P gear during long red light waits was acceptable, but this is incorrect. If you shift to P gear while waiting at a red light and get rear-ended unexpectedly, the transmission could be severely damaged, with the lightest impact potentially causing cracks. 3. Parking and Starting on Slopes: Parking directly in P gear on a slope can impact the transmission. It is advisable to shift to N gear first before engaging P gear. For starting on a slope, to prevent rolling, shift to D (Drive) gear to start and then release the handbrake.
