Practice question

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

  1. You are allowed to pass
  2. Passing is prohibited
  3. Road work ahead
  4. Yield to oncoming traffic

Answer: B — Passing is prohibited

A solid yellow line on your side of the road indicates that passing is prohibited. This marking serves as a warning to drivers that it is unsafe to overtake another vehicle in that area. The solid line indicates that visibility may be limited due to road conditions, curves, or other factors that could make passing dangerous. The presence of a solid yellow line means drivers should remain in their lane and not attempt to pass slower vehicles. This is crucial for maintaining safety on the road, particularly in areas with high traffic or limited sightlines. Understanding these markings helps drivers make informed decisions and promotes safer driving practices.
