Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
On an expressway, double solid white lines separate your lane from an HOV lane on your left. Your vehicle meets the HOV rules, and you want to use that lane. What must you do?
A is in the lane to the right of an HOV lane. Double solid white lines separate the lanes; both move right.
Correct answer: Stay in your lane until signs and markings show a place to enter
Why
Double solid white lines separate lanes that move in the same direction. They often keep a special-use lane, such as an HOV lane, apart from the other lanes of an expressway. Drivers in the special lane do not expect vehicles to come in at other points, so a crossing there can cause a side crash.
