Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You drive on a road where the line between your lane and the next lane is a line of white dashes. What does this line tell you?
A travels beside a broken white lane separator; no chosen lane change is drawn.
Correct answer: Both lanes go your way, and you may change lanes when it is safe
Why
The color of a line tells you the direction of traffic: white for the same direction, yellow for opposite directions. The pattern tells you what you may do: dashes allow a lane change, and solid lines tell you to stay in your lane. Even where a lane change is allowed, you must first check that the lane is clear and signal.
