As a general rule, what does a single continuous white longitudinal line separating lanes prohibit?

Correct answer

Crossing it to change lanes except under applicable statutory exceptions.

Crossing or driving along it to change lanes. It is not automatically limited to vehicles on its right; drivers on both sides must observe it. A continuous line paired with a broken line is a different case, where each driver follows the line on their side. Specific statutory exceptions require their conditions and do not permit crossing every solid line. The line does not itself prohibit parking on both road margins.
