If your side of the road has a solid yellow line and the opposite side has a broken line, may you pass?

• A. Yes, you may pass
• B. No, you may not pass
• C. Only when there is no oncoming traffic
• D. Only with the opposite side broken line functions

Answer: (B)

Passing rules are determined by the line on your side of the centerline. A solid yellow line on your side means you may not pass. The fact that the opposite side has a broken line doesn’t give you permission to pass—that broken line only indicates passing is allowed in that direction where the line is broken, not for you when your own side is solid. So, you must stay in your lane and wait for a passing zone where your side would be broken, or until the line changes.
