double yellow line , can we make a left turn if there are supermarket, usps office and other entrances in NJ? anyone know about it. i checked for a while, but get different answer. i knew some other states are legal to make left turn cross double yellow line.
I don't think there is any legal prohibition unless they specifically post a "no left turn" sign. Some roads even have a middle left turn lane for either direction to pull into and make a left when traffic dies down.
It is legal according to page 72 of the NJ Driver Manual.
You are allowed to turn left over a double yellow line. If turning left over a double yellow line was illegal, people would be forced to drive beyond their destinations, sometimes by many miles, including their homes.
From the NJ Driver Manual:
"Left turns, between Intersections: Between intersections, solid lines show when not to pass. However, theses lines may be crossed with care when entering or leaving driveways in business or residential areas."
For some reason, I cannot post the link to the NJ Driver Manual pdf.

I was wondering if this was actually serious question? Every day when I come from work (headed south) I have to cross the double line on the county road when veering left onto our lane. If that wasn't allowed I'd probably add another 20 minutes to my commute
