Centre Line

A centre line separates opposite directional traffic. While driving on the road, you must have a clear idea of the space meant for driving. A centre line may be broken, or continuous depending on the type of road and conveys a different meaning. The interpretations of different types of centre line are given below.

Broken Single Centre Line

You may cross this line if sufficient clearance is available. It is permissive in nature.

Solid Single Centre Line

You are not allowed to cross this. This line is restrictive in nature.

Solid Double Centre Line

Double solid line indicates maximum restriction of crossing. Vehicle should not cross the line by any chance.

Combined Centre Line

If solid line is nearer to you, crossing the line is not permitted.

If broken line is nearer to you, crossing the line is permitted.
