Will crossing the solid line at a traffic light intersection result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Crossing the solid line at a traffic light intersection will result in penalty points, as it constitutes a violation of prohibited road markings. The central dividing line on the road can be either yellow or white. If it is a solid line, you must not cross it or overtake. Typically, traffic police will enforce this on the spot, imposing a fine and deducting 3 points from your license. Traffic lights generally refer to traffic signal lights, which are used to direct traffic and usually consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Tips for navigating traffic lights: When approaching a straight-through intersection with only one set of traffic lights, follow normal traffic rules—stop when the light is red and proceed when it turns green. At intersections where U-turns are permitted, you can make a U-turn regardless of the traffic light signal. However, if you see a 'No U-turn' sign at an intersection, it means U-turns are prohibited there.
