Can a continuous longitudinal line be crossed?

Correct answer

No, never

A continuous longitudinal line is a prohibition: it may not be driven over, crossed or passed on its left. It prevents overtaking and changing lane or direction on that section. Its purpose is to prevent head-on collisions and dangerous manoeuvres. If you need to turn left and there is a continuous line, continue until a permitted place, such as an authorised U-turn or intersection. To overtake, wait until the line is broken on your side or there is a sign authorising it. Driving over it “slightly” is also prohibited: the rule is categorical. It ceases to apply only when the road marking changes, for example, where there is a broken line alongside it.
