Will Crossing the White Line on the Highway Definitely Result in Penalty Points?
1 Answers
Crossing the white line on the highway does not necessarily result in penalty points, but if caught by electronic surveillance or traffic police, points will be deducted. The purpose of solid white lines is to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, commonly found at traffic lights in intersections, highway ramps, bridge entrances, tunnels, etc. Vehicles are strictly prohibited from suddenly changing lanes and crossing these solid white lines when approaching such areas. The raised white markings on the road are known as rumble strips, serving to alert drivers to curves, downhill sections, and other road conditions. Single solid white lines used as guide lines at intersections prohibit vehicles from crossing, and when connected to white dashed lines, they indicate no-lane-change zones where crossing is not allowed.
