What do two solid yellow center lines generally mean for an ordinary pass of another motor vehicle?
A and B approach in opposite directions beside double solid yellow lines.
Correct answer: Ordinary passing across the lines is prohibited.
Why
Double solid yellow lines separate opposing traffic and prohibit ordinary passing across them. Specific lawful exceptions, such as certain left turns or designated traffic-control instructions, do not create general permission to pass.
