Why Do Some Roads Have White Markings While Others Have Yellow Ones? Here’s The Reason

#1 While driving, we all have noticed those white and yellow lines on road. Sometimes they are solid lines and sometimes they are broken

Did you know that these lines are also a part of road signs? Here's what these lines mean -

#2 Solid white line

Solid white lines indicates that you must not change lanes and should stay in the lane you are already on.

#3 Broken white line

Broken white lines indicate that you are allowed to change lane, but with caution. So you may change lane, if it is safe to do so.

#4 One solid yellow line

Passing or overtaking other vehicles is allowed, but you cannot cross the yellow line. However, this rule may vary from state to state.

#5 Double solid yellow lines

Passing is not allowed over double solid yellow lines.

#6 Broken Yellow Line

Passing is allowed over broken yellow line, but with caution.

#7 Solid yellow line with broken yellow line

If you are driving on the side of the broken line, you're allowed to overtake, and if you're driving on the side of the solid line, you're not.

There. Now you know what these lines are for. The next time you're on the road, try looking for people who follow these rules. Well, if there are any.
