What does the sign mean?

You may not drive with any wheel across the line.

Where it applies

  • The line can be a solid centre line, lane line or edge line.
  • With particular care you may cross the line if needed to pass an obstacle on the road, if the room in a junction would otherwise not be enough for the vehicle, to reach or leave a property or similar, or if a dashed line runs immediately to the right of the solid one in your direction of travel.
  • A solid edge line may also be crossed by those who must use the shoulder under the law, such as cycles, mopeds and vehicles limited to 40 km/h.
