Changing lanes by crossing a single solid yellow line is considered a traffic violation. Crossing any solid line will result in a 3-point penalty. Crossing solid line violations: One of the most common violations committed by new drivers, often due to carelessness. In fact, besides crossing white solid lines, there are many other traffic markings that prohibit vehicles from crossing lines. Additional information: Function of white solid lines: To separate lanes in the same direction, usually painted before traffic lights at intersections. Many drivers are caught on camera for crossing this type of marking. Function of single solid yellow lines: To prohibit vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in both directions. Single solid yellow lines are generally painted on roads with only one lane in a single direction or one motor vehicle lane and one non-motor vehicle lane, or on sections where overtaking is prohibited due to other hazards.
