Changing lanes by crossing a solid white line at a traffic light intersection is considered a traffic violation. Vehicles that change lanes by crossing a solid line will be fined and receive 3 demerit points. Below is the relevant content: According to Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals shall proceed according to the following rules: 1. Drive according to the road: At intersections with marked guide lanes, enter the guide lane according to the intended direction of travel. 2. Roundabouts: Vehicles preparing to enter a roundabout shall yield to vehicles already in the intersection. 3. Turning precautions: When turning left, turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Turn signals must be used when turning, and low beams must be used when driving at night.
