TURNS: About those yellow lines

| May 12, 2024 1:00 AM

In response to George Peterson’s letter on May 3 about illegal left turns across double yellow lines. I haven’t driven that road in a long time. However, it’s NOT illegal to cross a double yellow line when turning into or out of a driveway anywhere. A double yellow line simply means no passing in either direction.

However, it is illegal to cross a double double yellow line (two sets of double yellow lines indicate a median). Such as what you have on SH 41 between Mullan and I-90 in Post Falls. This information is available in your drivers manual.
