Remove the "too" and your sentence makes even more sense.

Per Brian 703 If they didn't want you to ever cross it, it would be a double white line. A single white line indicates that crossing is discouraged, but not prohibited. Per the MUTCD, which is supposed to apply to all roads in the USA, anyway.....
Interesting Brian. The Michigan Driver's regulation book says that crossing the white line is prohibited. "Solid white lines: Solid white lines mark the right edge of the road. Often called fog lines, solid white lines help you stay on the road at night or in bad weather. Passing to the right of another vehicle by crossing a solid whiteline that marks the right edge of the roadway is prohibited, even if the shoulder is paved."

Wonder how this would play out in court?

I'd rather look at what the law says than what the driver's handbook says. I've found errors in the Virginia driver's handbook.
As to how it could play out in court, if failure to adhere to the MUTCD regulations causes an accident, the locality could be liable.
In Virginia, road projects are supposed to comply with the MUTCD to get state funding.

Good to know this white line law varies state to state.
Here In my region of California, the white lines go from solid to dotted a couple dozen yards before the intersection on intersections without a separate turning lane
I also try to leave enough room for a motorcyclist to squeeze by in between the 2 lanes of traffic, because apparently they are allowed to do that here.
