Why: Two sets of double solid yellow lines spaced two or more feet apart are considered a solid barrier. You must not drive over this barrier or make any turns across it.
Why: In Wisconsin, a yellow curb indicates a loading zone where parking is prohibited. You are only permitted to stop long enough to load or unload passengers or freight.
