Side question: Is it customary to drive across the dotted lane?

• dsr_ 11y ago
  A dashed lane marking means that both sides may temporarily use the other lane to pass -- provided that they can see it will be safe. A solid center line means you cannot do that. A double line with one side solid and one side dashed means that the dashed side may attempt to pass, not the solid side. All of these things become more clear once you realize they are primarily about sight-lines.

  Yes, you can change lanes across a dotted line as you like. You do have to signal first though. What does a dotted line mean in your country?

    Did you watch the video in the article? He is driving with the middle of the car over the dotted line. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a two-way one-lane road with bike-lanes on either side that you can enter when cars are coming towards you.

      No, I did not watch the video. Driving over the dotted line is not customary, I thought he meant crossing it.
