Will driving over the line on a ramp result in penalty points?

Driving over the line on a ramp will result in penalty points, specifically 3 points per violation. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Traffic signs are categorized into: regulatory signs, warning signs, prohibitory signs, guide signs, tourist area signs, road construction safety signs, and auxiliary signs. 2. Road traffic markings are divided into: regulatory markings, warning markings, and prohibitory markings. 3. When driving on highways, motor vehicles are prohibited from the following actions: (1) Reversing, driving against traffic, making U-turns across the central divider, or stopping in the lane. (2) Overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes. (3) Riding or straddling the lane dividing line or driving on the shoulder. (4) Driving or stopping in the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances. (5) Test driving or learning to drive a motor vehicle.
When it comes to driving, crossing the solid line on a ramp will definitely result in penalty points. I often remind my novice friends that traffic regulations clearly state: driving over the line is a violation of prohibitory signs or markings. The most common scenario is when there's a solid line marked on the ramp—if you cross it, you'll face the consequences. Specifically, according to the Road Traffic Safety Law, this usually results in a 1-point deduction and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan, depending on enforcement. Highway ramps are crowded and narrow, so crossing the line not only leads to points and fines but may also cause rear-end collisions—it's just too risky. I've developed a habit when driving: as soon as I enter a ramp, I slow down and keep a close eye on the markings to avoid touching the solid line. I also regularly use navigation apps to check for violations, so I don’t get fined unfairly and affect my driving record. Safety first—never take chances.
Last time I accidentally crossed the line at the highway entrance ramp, and the camera caught me red-handed - a 150 yuan fine plus 1 penalty point. That lesson stuck. Now when driving, I always say ramp lines are like warning lines - you absolutely mustn't cross solid lines, or you'll not only get penalized but also risk sideswiping nearby cars. Remember, most ramp lines indicate no lane changes - crossing them is a violation. My advice: slow down when entering ramps, keep your eyes on the markings, and develop good habits to avoid trouble. These small lessons have kept me out of trouble for years.
