  2. 2. On a two-lane road, the center has a broken yellow line beside a solid yellow line. The solid line is on your side. May you pass?

    • B. No, and oncoming drivers may not pass either
    • C. No, passing is not allowed from your lane
    • D. Yes, but only during daylight hours
    Show the answer

    C. No, passing is not allowed from your lane

    A solid yellow line on your side of the center means you are in a no-passing zone. Drivers on the side with the broken line may pass when it is safe.

  3. 3. On a two-lane road, the center of the road is marked with a single broken yellow line. What does this tell you?

    • B. Only drivers on the right side may pass
    • C. Passing is allowed in either direction when it is safe
    • D. Passing is not allowed in either direction

    C. Passing is allowed in either direction when it is safe

    A broken yellow center line on a two-lane road separates traffic going opposite ways and shows that passing is allowed in either direction when it is safe.

  4. 4. You plan to turn left using a center turn lane. How far before your turn may you enter that lane, at most?
