Texas Car / Permit practice question · Signals & Pavement Markings
Two solid white lines run side by side between the lanes of the road you are on. Moving across them is:
Answer choices
- Allowed only when you are leaving at the next exit
- Allowed as long as you signal first
- Not permitted at all— Correct answer
- Permitted only during daylight hours
Why this is the answer
Crossing is prohibited where the pavement is marked with double solid white lines. A broken white line, in contrast, lets you change lanes if it is safe, and even a single solid white line should be avoided if possible. Signaling, daylight and an upcoming exit do not change the rule about double solid white lines.
