Question 641 in the bank

What is the marked vehicle required to do when the following marking appears on the road?

A grey two-lane road with a dashed white line beside a solid white line in the centre; a white car in the right lane with a white arrow ahead pointing forward. Meaning: The driver of the marked vehicle should drive on the right of the lines, and he is prohibited from crossing the continuous separation line.
  1. The driver should not cross the separation line, but he is permitted to make a left U-turn.
  2. Correct answer: The driver of the marked vehicle should drive on the right of the lines, and he is prohibited from crossing the continuous separation line.
  3. The marked vehicle is permitted to cross the unbroken separation line.
  4. The marked vehicle should drive on the left side of the unbroken line.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The driver of the marked vehicle should drive on the right of the lines, and he is prohibited from crossing the continuous separation line.

The centre marking is a continuous line beside a broken line, and the continuous line is on the marked vehicle's side. A driver may cross only a broken line that is on their own side, so this vehicle must keep to the right of the lines. A U-turn is not allowed either, because it means crossing the continuous line. Only traffic from the opposite direction may cross.
