Will crossing the solid white line on the highway result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Crossing the solid white line on the highway will not result in penalty points, but may lead to a warning or a fine. The specific meanings of white lines on highways are: 1. Rumble strips: The raised white lines on the road are called rumble strips, which alert drivers to curves, downhill sections, and other road conditions. 2. Optical illusion markings: These markings create an optical illusion that the road narrows or appears to dip, prompting drivers to slow down before entering tunnels. 3. Speed reduction markings: These markings visually narrow the lane to create a sense of pressure, reminding drivers to slow down at curves, slopes, and other locations. 4. Channelizing lines: Used at irregular, overly wide, or complex intersections and other special locations.
