You drive on a road with two lanes that go your way. A broken white line separates the lanes, and a slow car is ahead of you. What does this line tell you?
A follows a slower silver car B in the right lane. A broken white line separates that lane from the empty lane on the left; double yellow lines separate opposing traffic.
Correct answer: It separates lanes that go the same way, and you may cross it to pass when safe.
Why
The color of a line tells you the direction of traffic: white lines separate traffic that moves the same way, and yellow lines separate traffic that moves in opposite directions. A broken line lets you cross it, but a solid line restricts crossing. Before you cross a broken white line, check your mirrors and blind spot and signal, because Rhode Island law lets you leave your lane only when the move is safe.
