When can a person operating a motor vehicle turn across a double solid yellow line?

A person operating a motor vehicle may turn across a double solid yellow line when they are turning left into or out of a driveway. This scenario is allowed because the double solid yellow lines primarily indicate that passing is prohibited and that the lane should not be crossed to overtake another vehicle. However, these lines do not prevent a driver from making a left turn at intersections or into driveways. This is designed to accommodate accessing properties that may be located along a road with these markings while ensuring that the overall flow of traffic remains safe and regulated.

In contrast to options such as making a U-turn, changing lanes, or passing another vehicle, which are not permissible across double solid lines, turning into or out of a driveway is specifically an exception allowed for drivers, affirming that safety and practicality in navigating roadways near personal or commercial property access points are priorities in traffic regulations.
