Signals and pavement markingsQuestion 87 of 296
A road seen from above. A yellow broken line runs down the centre. A blue car drives in the right lane.

What does this broken yellow centre line tell you?

  1. You may pass with care, in both directions
  2. You must not pass in either direction
  3. Only the lane on the left may pass
  4. You may pass only at night
Show answer

Correct answer: You may pass with care, in both directions

A broken yellow centre line allows passing with care in both directions. Pass only when the way ahead is clear and safe.
