Question 6891
Is it permitted to drive over a broken longitudinal road marking when driving on a roadway with lanes less than 3 meters wide?
- Yes, provided it is necessary and traffic safety allows it.
- No, never.
- Yes, always.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, provided it is necessary and traffic safety allows it.
As a rule, you must not straddle a broken line. The exception is when the lanes are so narrow, for example less than 3 meters wide, that your vehicle needs to straddle it, and only if it is safe. So it is neither always prohibited nor always allowed.
