Practice question

What does a solid yellow line on your side of the road indicate?

  1. You may pass if safe
  2. No passing allowed
  3. You can change lanes
  4. It’s a pedestrian zone

Answer: B — No passing allowed

A solid yellow line on your side of the road indicates that no passing is allowed. This marking is used to signal drivers that it is unsafe to overtake another vehicle in that area, often due to limited visibility or road conditions that could make passing dangerous. When you see a solid yellow line, it’s essential to remain in your lane and not attempt to pass other vehicles, as doing so could increase the risk of an accident. This line clearly communicates to drivers that caution is required, particularly if there are additional road signs indicating curves, intersections, or other hazards ahead.
