Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You drive on a one-way street with two lanes. A single broken white line separates the lanes, and you want to move into the other lane. When may you cross the line?
A travels in the right lane of a one-way street. A single broken white line separates it from the empty lane on its left.
Correct answer: When you can move over safely without getting in the way of other traffic.
Why
A broken line gives permission, not a promise that the move is safe. New York law requires you to stay in your lane until you have made sure that the move is safe, and to signal before you move. Check your mirrors and your blind spot, signal, and move only into a clear gap.
