If there are double white continuous lines painted in the centre of the road, what are you allowed to do?

The presence of double white continuous lines in the center of the road indicates that crossing these lines is prohibited. This regulation is designed to enhance safety by preventing drivers from overtaking or changing lanes in areas where visibility and safety may be compromised, such as curves or where a clear view of oncoming traffic is not available. Therefore, adhering to this rule is essential for maintaining safe driving conditions for all road users.

While there are scenarios on the road where lines may be crossed under certain conditions—such as single broken lines or marked areas that allow for maneuvering—double continuous lines specifically denote that any crossing is not allowed to ensure the safety of vehicles and pedestrians alike. This restriction significantly reduces the likelihood of accidents and promotes a smoother flow of traffic.
