Question 4800
On a roadway where the two directions of traffic are separated by a solid line, is it allowed to turn left?
- Yes, when doing so does not compromise the safety of any road user.
- No.
- Only within a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. You must not drive on or cross a solid line, and if it separates the directions of traffic, you must not drive to its left either. Turning left requires crossing it, so it is prohibited, even in light traffic or within a built-up area. Where the solid line is interrupted by a broken section at an access point, you may cross it to enter or leave.
