Practice question

What does a continuous, solid white center line on the road indicate?

  1. It can be crossed if needed
  2. It is a lane boundary but may be crossed
  3. It may not be crossed or touched by the wheels
  4. It allows vehicles to change lanes safely

Answer: C — It may not be crossed or touched by the wheels

A continuous solid white center line on the road indicates that crossing or touching this line with your vehicle's wheels is prohibited. This marking is used to separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and signifies that changing lanes is unsafe or not allowed in that area. It serves to enhance safety by preventing drivers from moving into a lane that could have vehicles traveling closely or at higher speeds, thereby reducing the potential for accidents. Understanding this traffic marking is crucial for safe driving practices and compliance with road rules.
