Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
As you near an intersection, the two lanes going your way are separated by a solid white line. What does the solid white line tell you?
A approaches an intersection in one of two same-direction lanes. A solid white line separates the lanes near the intersection.
Correct answer: Stay in your lane unless a special situation requires a change
Why
Because a solid white line asks you to stay in your lane, choose your lane early, before the solid line begins. If a special situation, such as a blocked lane, makes a change necessary, signal, check your mirrors and blind spot, and move only when it is safe.
