For a solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line, which side may pass if clear?

• A. Neither side may pass
• B. Vehicles next to the solid line may pass if clear
• C. Only bicycles may pass
• D. Vehicles next to the broken line may pass if clear

Answer: (D)

Center-line markings tell you when passing is allowed. A solid line on your side means you may not pass, while a broken line on your side means you may pass if it’s safe. When you have a solid line next to a broken line, only the lane with the broken line on your side lets you pass. Make sure there’s enough distance and that oncoming traffic isn’t approaching before you cross the center line to pass.
