Lines on the road
道路标线
Las líneas del camino

Two-lane, two-way road seen from above. Your car is in the right lane. The center has two yellow lines: the one beside your lane is solid, the one beside the oncoming lane is dashed.YOU您TÚ
Solid yellow line, your side黄色实线在您一侧Línea amarilla continua de su lado
Two-lane, two-way road seen from above. Your blue car is in the right lane with a grey car ahead of you in the same lane. The center of the road is marked by two solid yellow lines side by side. A grey car farther up the road in the left lane faces toward you.YOU您TÚ
Double solid yellow lines双黄实线Líneas amarillas dobles continuas
Multilane road with all traffic going the same direction, seen from above. Your blue car is in the right lane; a grey car is ahead in the left lane. Two solid white lines side by side separate the two lanes.
Double solid white lines双白实线Líneas blancas dobles continuas
Multilane road with all traffic going the same direction, seen from above. Your car is in the right lane; another car is ahead in the left lane. A single dashed white line separates the two lanes.
Dashed white line白色虚线Línea blanca discontinua
Multilane road with all traffic going the same direction, seen from above. Your car is in the right lane; another car is ahead in the left lane. A single solid white line separates the two lanes.

  • The solid/dashed rule depends on which line is closer to YOUR lane.
    一实一虚规则取决于哪条线更靠近“您的”车道。
    La regla de continua/discontinua depende de cuál línea está más cerca de SU carril.
  • Solid yellow vs. solid white: both say stay in your lane, but yellow separates opposite directions. Never cross a solid yellow line to pass; you may cross the one on your side to enter a shared center turn lane.
    黄色实线与白色实线:都表示保持本车道,但黄色分隔相反方向。绝不能越过黄色实线超车;可以越过本侧的黄色实线进入共享中间转弯车道。
    Amarilla continua frente a blanca continua: ambas dicen permanezca en su carril, pero la amarilla separa direcciones opuestas. Nunca cruce una línea amarilla continua para rebasar; puede cruzar la de su lado para entrar a un carril central compartido de giro.
  • Short white dashes mean a lane is ending. They are not school zone markings; school zones are marked with their own signs, pavement markings and flashing lights.
    短白虚线表示车道即将结束,不是学校区域标线;学校区域有自己的标志、路面标线和闪光灯。
    Las rayas blancas cortas significan que un carril está terminando. No son marcas de zona escolar; las zonas escolares se marcan con sus propias señales, marcas en el pavimento y luces intermitentes.
