A solid white line between lanes traveling in the SAME direction means what?

Question: A solid white line between lanes traveling in the SAME direction means what?

Answer options:

• Lane changes are encouraged ✅ Lane changes are discouraged or prohibited
• Edge of the road
• Bicycle lane

Correct answer: Lane changes are discouraged or prohibited

Explanation: Under the Quebec Highway Safety Code, a solid white line between lanes traveling in the same direction signifies that changing lanes is discouraged or prohibited, as these lines are placed in high-risk areas like intersections to stabilize traffic flow. Conversely, dashed white lines permit lane changes. While a solid white line on the outer margin denotes the edge of the road, it does not separate active travel lanes, and bicycle lanes require specific bicycle stencils. Recognizing these pavement markings is crucial for the SAAQ theory test, where examiners frequently evaluate your ability to identify legal and illegal lane maneuvers.
