Question: Two solid white lines between lanes mean:

Answer options:

• Pass freely ✅ Lane change discouraged or prohibited
• Bus lane only
• Bike lane only

Correct answer: Lane change discouraged or prohibited

Explanation: Two solid white lines indicate that changing lanes is prohibited, while a single solid white line means lane changing is discouraged. Solid pavement markings always signify restrictions, unlike broken lines which allow drivers to pass freely. Reserved lanes, such as those designated exclusively for buses or bicycles, are marked with distinct diamond symbols rather than just double solid white lines. Under the British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act and ICBC guidelines, solid white lines demarcate lane boundaries where lateral movement is restricted. Recognizing pavement markings is highly relevant for the ICBC knowledge test, as questions on line restrictions frequently appear to ensure safe lane discipline.
