May a car cross the striped area bounded by continuous lines in this schematic to change lanes? The black lines represent white markings.

Correct answer

No, it may not cross that area to change lanes.

No. It is a hatched area: the oblique-striped zone bounded by continuous lines cannot be used for travel, lane changes or parking. Article 147.2.d and Annex I exempt those required to use the shoulder; a car changing lanes for convenience is not within that exception. Wait for a place where changing lanes is allowed and safe.
