It's not "forbidden travel". Yellow center lane is used for turning, just like in real life.

I suppose it depends on your point of view.

You can't use it as a lane to drive in, you can only enter if you are taking the next available turn. And that does not mean drive in it for a mile or two until you reach the turn. :D

I think specifically he may have been referring to the fact the line wasn't "broken" for the yard entrance, if this is the case then I can also confirm not a bug for that either. The yellow lines only stop if it is a proper road junction.

I agree with Moh1336. These yellow lanes don't have entrance then, how use it?.

According to the California Driver Handbook, this is the rule of a "center left turn lane".
A center left turn lane is located in the middle of a two-way street and is marked on both sides by two painted lines. The inner line is broken and the outer line is solid. If a street has a center left turn lane, you must use it to prepare for or make a left turn, or to prepare for or make a permitted U-turn (CVC ยง21460.5 (c)). You may only drive for 200 feet in the center left turn lane. This lane is not a regular traffic lane or a passing lane. To turn left from this lane, signal, look over your shoulder, and drive completely inside the center left turn lane. Do not stop with the back of your vehicle blocking traffic. Make sure the lane is clear in both directions and then turn only when it is safe. Look for vehicles coming toward you in the same lane, preparing to start their left turn.

When turning left from a side street or driveway, signal and wait until it is safe. Then you may drive into the center left turn lane. Enter traffic only when it is safe.
NOTE: 200 feet = 61 meters
