What does the solid white line in the center of the carriageway prohibit?
Signage: Road markings
Explanation
The **continuous white line** in the center of the roadway has a clear purpose: **to prohibit drivers from changing lanes**. This means that vehicles traveling in the **right lane** cannot cross this line to switch to the left lane. The continuous line acts as a barrier that should not be crossed or driven over. This rule is crucial for maintaining order and safety on the roads, especially on two-way roads, where crossing the line could result in dangerous situations.
On the other hand, continuous yellow lines, which are different from white ones, indicate prohibitions related to parking, not lane changes. Therefore, the prohibition on changing lanes specifically applies to the continuous white line.
