What does a broken white lane marking mean?

  1. traffic is going the same direction, driver may switch lanes
  2. traffic is going in different directions, driver may pass only when no traffic is coming from the other direction
  3. traffic is going the same direction, do not attempt lane change
  4. traffic is going in different directions, do not attempt lane change

Answer: A — traffic is going the same direction, driver may switch lanes

A broken white lane marking indicates that traffic is going in the same direction, and the driver may switch lanes. This marking allows drivers to move from one lane to another in a safe manner, as opposed to a solid white line which typically signifies a lane change restriction. Remember, it is important to always signal your intention to change lanes and check for surrounding traffic before making any maneuvers.
