Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You want to pass an ordinary motor vehicle on a two-way road. A solid yellow line is beside your lane and a broken yellow line is beside the opposing lane. May you cross the solid line to begin the pass?
Blue A and silver B face opposite directions on a two-lane road. The yellow center marking is solid on A’s side and broken on B’s side.
Correct answer: You may not; the solid line on your side prohibits starting a pass.
Why
No. The solid yellow line on your side prohibits beginning this motor-vehicle pass. Traffic beside the broken line may pass only when safe and legal. Separate rules allow a safe driveway turn and a narrowly qualified bicycle pass; neither makes the stated motor-vehicle pass lawful.
