Crossing Over Double Yellow Lines
It’s something that happens every day. You might even want to blame it on your GPS. You reach your destination on the left. The roadway is divided by double yellow lines. Is it legal to make that left turn? The yellow lines are intended to represent “no passing permitted.” The New Jersey statutes don’t seem to address the issue of crossing double lines to make a turn.
However, that’s not to say you can’t be ticketed under NJSA 39:4-123 and accused of failing to exercise caution when making the turn. This might be the case if you were involved in an accident. You could also be charged with failing to use turn signals under NJSA 39:4-126.
