Dashed lines indicate you may change lanes if it’s safe. This marking tells you that crossing into the adjacent lane is allowed, as long as you signal, check mirrors and blind spots, and ensure the lane ahead is clear. Solid lines, by contrast, mean you must stay in your lane and crossing the line is not allowed. So the dashed line is the marking that shows lane changes are permitted.
