What kind of marking is the yellow dashed line?
1 Answers
Road center yellow dashed lines are used to separate opposing traffic flows. If there is a yellow solid and dashed line in the center of the road, vehicles are prohibited from crossing the line or making left turns on the solid side, while vehicles are allowed to cross the line for overtaking or making left turns on the dashed side. Here is more information about yellow lines: 1. Single solid yellow line: Strictly prohibited from crossing, such as overtaking, turning, or making U-turns. Under normal driving conditions, vehicles should not cross this line. Driving over solid lines is not allowed, and making U-turns is considered a violation of prohibited markings, resulting in 3 penalty points and a fine of 200 RMB. 2. Single yellow dashed line: Overtaking or making U-turns is permitted when safe to do so. Single yellow lines serve as center dividing lines to separate opposing traffic flows. Yellow dashed lines allow temporary crossing for lane changes when driving; solid lines should be treated as a wall, strictly prohibiting any crossing. Roads with four or more lanes in both directions are marked with double yellow lines, while those with fewer lanes use single yellow lines.
