What does a solid yellow line in your lane indicate about passing?

• A. Passing is not allowed when the line is solid in your direction
• B. Passing allowed with caution
• C. Passing allowed if you have the right of way
• D. Passing is always allowed on the right

Answer: (A)

A solid yellow line in your lane means you must not pass the vehicle ahead. This marking signals a no-passing zone because sight distance or road conditions ahead could be dangerous, such as curves, hills, or intersections. You should stay in your lane and wait for the line to change to dashed on your side or for you to complete the maneuver within a designated passing zone and then only pass when it’s safe. If the line on your side is solid, passing is not allowed, even if the opposite side is dashed. On roads with two solid yellow lines, passing is prohibited in both directions.
