Some places but not all...At least in NL you are not allowed to turn 
left or make a U-turn across a solid centre line, nor are you allowed to 
cross the line to overtake anything at all. Where there is an entrance 
to premises to the left, there *may* be a short segment of dashed centre 
line to indicate that you are allowed to turn left to reach the 
premises. If the line is continuous past the entrance, you cannot cross 
the line to turn left so you have to pass the premises and find 
somewhere to turn around.
