Is it permitted to drive on a broken longitudinal line when driving on a carriageway with narrow lanes?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
Driving on broken longitudinal lines on narrow lanes
A **broken longitudinal line** serves to **separate lanes** and **guide traffic**.
The general rule states that **you must not drive on the line**. However, there is an important exception:
- **You may drive on it when the lanes are narrow**,
- provided that it is **necessary** due to the **width of the carriageway**, and
- **traffic safety is not endangered**.
In addition, these markings **may be crossed** to carry out permitted manoeuvres, such as **turns** or **lane changes**, always respecting the **priority of vehicles** already travelling in the lane you wish to enter.
