Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
Near an intersection, a solid white line separates your lane from the lane to your left. Both lanes carry traffic in your direction. You would like to move into the left lane. What should you do?
A travels in the right of two same-direction lanes near an intersection. A solid white line separates A from the lane on its left.
Correct answer: Stay in your lane; a solid white line means you may not change lanes across it.
Why
Solid white lines are often used near intersections, ramps and tunnels, where lane changes are most dangerous. Broken white lines show where you may change lanes after you signal and check. Planning ahead puts you in the right lane before the line turns solid.
