What does a broken white line between lanes usually show?
Blue A and silver B are in the right of two lanes traveling to the right. A broken white line separates the lanes. The adjacent lane is empty in this snapshot.
Correct answer: The lanes go the same way and may be crossed when safe
Why
Broken white lines separate same-direction lanes and permit a properly signaled lane change after the driver confirms clearance.
