Question

Difficulty: HardSpecial Zone Signs and Markings

When approaching an intersection adjacent to a restricted transit lane demarcated by a continuous solid white line and white diamond pavement markings, drivers of standard passenger vehicles may cross the solid white line at any location to enter the lane and execute a right turn.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. Drivers are prohibited from crossing a continuous solid white line into a restricted transit lane; they must wait until the pavement marking transitions to a broken (dashed) white line before entering to make a right turn.
The statement is false because continuous solid white pavement lines establishing special preferential lanes prohibit crossing. Non-transit vehicles preparing to turn right must defer merging until the solid line transitions to a dotted or broken white line near the intersection.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the meaning of the specific pavement markings defining the special zone.
The diamond symbol identifies a preferential/restricted lane (e.g., bus/transit), and the continuous solid white line indicates that lane changing across the boundary is restricted.
Solid longitudinal pavement markings convey mandatory line-crossing prohibitions under standard traffic control regulations.
2
Determine the legal entry requirements for executing turns across or within restricted lanes.
Drivers must delay entering the restricted lane until they reach a section marked by broken (dashed) white lines specifically designated for turning vehicles.
Crossing solid lines prematurely creates severe conflict points with right-of-way transit vehicles operating within the special zone.
