State Laws

1. Turns across Gores, Lined Dividers, Medians

O.C.G.A. § 40-6-50. Driving on divided highway, controlled-access roadways, and emergency lanes.
No vehicle shall be driven over, across, or within any dividing space, barrier, gore, paved shoulder, or section separating the roadways of a divided highway; except that a vehicle may be driven through an opening in such physical barrier or dividing space or at an established crossover or intersection unless specifically prohibited by an official sign, signal, or control device.
In simpler terms, in the state of Georgia it is illegal to cross a lined median (defined as a quad yellow lined median with or without diagonal lines or chevrons) unless it has an "opening," meaning it stops or is broken lined in a uniform manner.
