Lane Markings Overview
- Broken Yellow Lines: Allow passing on the left in either direction when clear.
- Broken Yellow Line with Solid Yellow Line: Passing allowed only from the broken line side; solid line side may only cross for pedestrians or cyclists when clear.
- Double Solid Yellow Lines: Mark the center, prohibit passing; crossing is only permitted for left turns or pedestrians.
White Lane Markings
- Broken White Lines: Separate same-direction lanes; lane changes may be made with caution.
- Dotted White Lines: Indicate lane assignments in intersections; guide turning lanes and mark turn lane openings.
- Solid White Lines: Define turn lanes, discourage changes near intersections; also mark right edge and areas like stop lines and crosswalks.
Lane Designations
- Curved or Straight White Arrows: Curved arrows indicate a mandatory turn; combined arrows allow straight or turning movement.
- Double Solid White Lines: Separate conventional lanes from special use lanes, such as HOV lanes; crossing is prohibited.
Yielding and Lane Usage
- Yield Line: Triangular marking indicating where to yield at intersections, often seen before roundabouts.

- Single Broken Yellow Line in Center Lane: Allows passing for vehicles in either direction.
- Solid and Broken Yellow Lines in Center Lane: Allows left turn usage but limits travel to 150 feet.
Bicycle and Vehicle Lanes
- Shared Lane Marking (Sharrow): Indicates bicyclists should ride in the lane and reminds drivers to expect bicycles.
- Bicycle Lanes: Marked by solid/dashed lines and symbols; vehicles should not enter except when turning and must yield to bicycles.
Special Vehicles and Toll Use
- High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV): Designated lanes for buses, carpools, and motorcycles marked with a diamond; sometimes reserved for buses.
