Road seen from above. A blue car in the right lane drives up the picture. The center has two yellow lines: a solid line on the right, next to the car, and a broken line on the left.

The blue car drives up the picture. What does the center line mean for its driver?

  1. Cross it to pass with care
  2. Stop before the line
  3. Cross it only at night
  4. Do not cross it to pass
Show answer

Correct answer: Do not cross it to pass

A solid yellow line next to your lane prohibits passing. The driver of the blue car must not cross the double line to pass.
