Difficulty: EasyPavement Markings and Lane Lines

You are driving on a two-lane roadway with traffic moving in opposite directions. What does a single broken yellow centerline indicate?

  1. Drivers traveling in either direction may cross the line to pass when it is safe to do so.Answer
  2. B
    Passing is strictly prohibited for vehicles traveling in both directions.
  3. C
    The road is one-way and all lanes of traffic are moving in the same direction.
  4. D
    Vehicles may cross the line only when making a U-turn near an intersection.

Answer

Drivers traveling in either direction may cross the line to pass when safe.
A single broken yellow line separates traffic moving in opposite directions and indicates that drivers in both directions are permitted to pass other vehicles when the opposing lane is clear and it is safe to do so.

Step-by-Step Solution

1

Yellow pavement markings separate traffic moving in opposite directions.
Yellow indicates two-way traffic, while white separates lanes moving in the same direction.
