Specifically, a solid yellow line means that passing is not permitted in that direction, while a broken yellow line means passing is allowed when it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case where the <strong>broken yellow line<\/strong> is next to your lane, it indicates that <strong>you are allowed to pass, but only when it is safe to do so<\/strong>, which is why the correct answer is &#8220;If traffic is clear.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the road markings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solid Yellow Line<\/strong>: This line marks the edge of the lane where passing is prohibited. It is meant to keep vehicles from crossing into oncoming traffic, often because of visibility or road conditions (such as curves, hills, or intersections). If you are driving next to a solid yellow line, you <strong>cannot<\/strong> pass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Broken Yellow Line<\/strong>: This line indicates that passing is allowed for vehicles traveling in the direction of the broken line, but only when it is safe. It\u2019s used to mark situations where overtaking another vehicle is permissible, like on stretches of road that are straight and where visibility is good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <strong>broken yellow line is next to your lane<\/strong>, it means you are legally allowed to pass, but you should only do so when conditions are safe. For instance, this could mean when traffic is clear, and there are no obstacles or oncoming vehicles that would make passing dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to always ensure there is enough space and visibility before overtaking another vehicle. If traffic is not clear or you cannot see far enough ahead, you should refrain from passing, even though the broken line technically allows it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the road is marked with a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line, with the broken line next to your lane, you may pass:AnswersOnly in an emergency.If you are on an expressway.If traffic is clear.Only at an intersection.
