Practice question

What lane marking indicates that passing is permitted?

  1. Solid yellow line
  2. Dotted white line
  3. Solid white line
  4. Dotted yellow line

Answer: D — Dotted yellow line

A solid yellow line indicates no passing is allowed in either direction. A dotted white line indicates that passing is allowed on either side of the line. A solid white line indicates that the lane is a designated travel lane and passing is not allowed. A dotted yellow line indicates that passing is permitted on the side of the line closest to the driver, but not on the other side. Therefore, the only option that indicates passing is permitted is a dotted yellow line.
