Which lines should not be crossed while driving?
1 Answers
Here are 7 types of lines that should not be crossed while driving: 1. Solid white line: Solid white lines are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, usually painted before traffic lights at intersections. Many drivers who violate traffic rules by crossing lines are caught crossing this type of marking. 2. Solid yellow no-parking line: When a single solid yellow line is painted along one side of the road, it becomes a 'no-parking marking,' indicating that parking is prohibited for any vehicle in that section. 3. Yellow solid and dashed line: Yellow solid and dashed lines are usually painted before and after bridges and in sections where U-turns are allowed, also serving to separate lanes traveling in opposite directions. Vehicles are prohibited from crossing or driving over the solid yellow line side, while the dashed line side permits temporary crossing or turning. 4. Single solid yellow line: Single solid yellow lines are used to separate opposing lanes, prohibiting vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in either direction. These lines are typically painted on roads with only one lane in each direction or one motor vehicle lane and one non-motorized vehicle lane. Such roads are inherently narrow, and crossing a single solid yellow line can easily lead to head-on collisions with oncoming traffic, making it very dangerous. Additionally, single solid yellow lines are often used in sections where overtaking is prohibited due to other hazards. 5. Double solid yellow lines: Double solid yellow lines serve the same purpose as single solid yellow lines, prohibiting vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in either direction. These lines are usually painted on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in each direction and no physical central divider. Such roads are generally wider with heavier traffic, and crossing these lines can also easily result in collisions with oncoming vehicles. 6. No-parking grid lines: A confusing array of yellow grids indicates no-parking grid lines. This type of marking is less commonly seen and is usually painted at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, entrances and exits of important institutions, and other necessary locations. Any vehicle parked on these grid lines (including waiting at traffic lights) is considered a traffic violation. 7. Guide lines: Guide lines are typically set up at complex intersections, ramps, U-turn lanes, etc., usually forming triangular areas with white striped lines. Their purpose is to guide vehicles to follow prescribed routes, ensuring orderly traffic flow.
