Double white lines where the line nearer to you is solid, this means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road, you may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph or less, some double white lines have areas of hatched markings inside or to the side, you must not cross a solid white line to enter a hatched area, the only exception is on a single carriageway at the end of an overtaking lane where 2 lanes reduce to 1, in this situation you may cross the solid white line to enter the hatched area for the reasons mentioned for double white lines, you shouldn’t need to cross a solid white line to pass a stationary vehicle as stopping on any length of road with double white lines is prohibited, even if the white lines on that side of the road is broken, the only exception is stopping on roads with double white lines to pick up or drop off passengers or to load or unload goods but you should stop off the main carriageway if possible, hatched markings always point towards the direction of travel, chevron markings always point towards oncoming traffic, if you see chevron markings then the traffic flow is going in 1 direction, if you see hatched markings the traffic flow is 2 way, you can enter hatched and chevron markings with a broken white line if it’s safe and necessary to do so, you can’t enter hatched and chevron markings if there is a solid white line. 🙃

[@1gammagoblin]

can i cross double white line when on a bus stop ?

[@WayneTulip-zm9gw]

Bus stops are for buses only so you shouldn’t be sat on one but yes you can, if you read the Highway Code it says you may cross a solid white line to pass a stationary vehicle.

[@paulqadi]

A cyclist must be doing 10mph or less if you are going to cross the white line. 😊

[@WayneTulip-zm9gw]

Yes, exactly, so if the cyclist is doing 11mph then you can’t cross a solid white line to overtake them, obviously it’s pretty much impossible to work out exactly what speed they’re doing, if it any doubt then don’t overtake, stay behind them. 🙃
