What does a broken white line indicate?

• A. You may change lanes if it is safe to do so
• B. You must not cross the line
• C. You should speed up when safe
• D. You must stop immediately

Answer: (A)

A broken white line means you may cross it to change lanes or to overtake, but only if it is safe to do so. It shows that traffic in the adjacent lane may be moving, so you should take care: check your mirrors and signals, ensure there is a sufficient gap, and only move when visibility and road conditions allow without forcing another road user. Avoid crossing near junctions, bends, or where your view is restricted. If you later encounter a solid line, you must not cross it to overtake or change lanes.
