On which type of roads is it permitted to drive crossing the broken longitudinal line when the lane width makes it necessary?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, vehicles must drive strictly within their lane. However, there is an important exception related to road width. A lane is considered narrow if it is less than 3 meters wide. In these cases, if safety circumstances or vehicle dimensions require it, driving while straddling or crossing the broken line is permitted, provided it does not endanger oncoming traffic or other road users. The options of 4 or 5 meters are incorrect because such widths are sufficient to drive without invading the adjacent lane.
