On a two-lane road, the center line is solid yellow on your side and broken yellow on the other side. May you pass?
- A No, because the line on your side is solid
- B Yes, because one line is broken
- C Yes, but only during daylight
- D Only if the car ahead is under the limit
Show answer
A. No, because the line on your side is solid
When double yellow lines have a solid line on your side, you may not pass. A broken line on your side means you may pass when it is safe.
