Is it permitted to drive to the left of a continuous line?

A continuous longitudinal line indicates that no driver may cross it, drive on it, or — when it separates opposing directions of traffic — drive to its left. If the road is one-way, driving to its left is permitted, but changing lanes is not allowed until reaching a section where the line is broken. Two continuous lines have the same meaning. When the line is noticeably wider than normal, it indicates the existence of a special lane. Only those travelling in that lane may cross this line, to leave it when required by a manoeuvre or the destination they intend to follow.
