What does a solid white lane marking mean?

  1. traffic is going in different directions, do not attempt lane change

  2. traffic is going the same direction, do not attempt lane change

  3. traffic is going in different directions, driver may pass only when no traffic is coming from the other direction

  4. traffic is going the same direction, driver may switch lanes

The correct answer is: traffic is going the same direction, do not attempt lane change

A solid white lane marking indicates that traffic is going in the same direction, and drivers should not attempt lane changes. This is important for maintaining the flow of traffic and increasing safety on the road. When a driver sees a solid white line, they should remain in their lane and not try to switch lanes, as this could result in dangerous situations such as side-swiping or collisions. It's crucial to follow lane markings to prevent accidents and drive responsibly. Option A is incorrect because a solid white lane marking does not signify traffic going in different directions. Option C is incorrect because it describes a situation where traffic is going in different directions, which does not apply to a solid white lane marking. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that a driver may switch lanes when faced with a solid white lane marking, which is not the correct interpretation.
