What does a no-passing zone line indicate?

• A. Passing is prohibited in both directions in that zone
• B. Passing is allowed in both directions
• C. Passing is prohibited in one direction only
• D. Passing is not restricted in this zone

Answer: (A)

A no-passing zone line means you cannot pass other vehicles in either direction within that stretch. It’s a solid center-line marking used where sight distance is limited or conditions are unsafe for passing, such as near curves, hills, or intersections. Because crossing this line would be risky, you must stay behind the vehicle ahead and wait until you’re clearly past the zone where passing is allowed again (typically when you see a dashed center line or a different marking).
