Question 614 of 1208

What is the meaning of the longitudinal marking applied as a continuous line on the axis of public roads?

A it helps drivers to orient themselves at night;
B it does not allow its crossing by drivers of vehicles;
C it allows overtaking vehicles.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this regard.


For answer  B 

The longitudinal marking consisting of a single or double continuous line prohibits its crossing, regardless of the situation.


For answer  C 

The continuous longitudinal marking separating the directions of travel does NOT have implication in prohibiting or allowing the performance of the overtaking maneuver on the sector on which it is applied, as long as this marking is not crossed. Overtaking is permitted on that sector, as long as it is not crossed or not passed over the continuous longitudinal marking. If for overtaking the continuous longitudinal marking would not be crossed, the overtaking would be lawful.


The correct answer is: B
