How the exam asks it

About Solid line: main rule, two exceptions, and the gore area: which statement is WRONG?

  1. A solid line may never be crossed under any circumstances.
  2. Road markings are themselves traffic signs and outrank traffic rules; they are exactly as binding as a sign, even with no sign next to them at all.
  3. A hatched marking or gore area may not be used, full stop — it is not a lane, not even when busy.
  4. The crossing ban does not apply if the side from which you cross (so YOUR OWN side) has a broken line.
Show the answer

Correct answer: A solid line may never be crossed under any circumstances.

The ban has two exceptions: if the line on your own side is broken, or if you use it to reach or leave a hard shoulder, breakdown bay or peak-hour lane. 'Never' is not always true

Why learners get this wrong: A road marking (such as a line) is advisory; as long as there is no sign next to it, you are not required to follow it.

About Solid line: main rule, two exceptions, and the gore area: which statement is WRONG?

  1. The crossing ban does not apply if the side from which you cross (so YOUR OWN side) has a broken line.
  2. A solid line next to a peak-hour lane may never be crossed, not even to enter or exit that lane.
  3. The ban has two exceptions: if the line on your own side is broken, or if you use it to reach or leave a hard shoulder, breakdown bay or peak-hour lane. 'Never' is not always true.
  4. A hatched marking or gore area may not be used, full stop — it is not a lane, not even when busy.
Show the answer

Correct answer: A solid line next to a peak-hour lane may never be crossed, not even to enter or exit that lane.

The ban also does not apply when the line is crossed to reach or leave a hard shoulder, breakdown bay or peak-hour lane next to the followed lane. That specific crossing is in fact allowed

Why learners get this wrong: At a double line (one solid, one broken side by side) the line on the far side counts, not the one on your own side.
