What does a broken yellow line between opposing traffic lanes tell a driver?
- Passing is permitted when the maneuver is safe
- Passing is prohibited until the line becomes white
- Traffic on both sides must travel in the same direction
- The lane is reserved for emergency vehicles
Answer: Passing is permitted when the maneuver is safe. A broken yellow centerline separates traffic moving in opposite directions and marks a place where passing is permitted. The permission is conditional: the driver still needs adequate sight distance, room to return, and no other restriction that makes the maneuver unsafe. A yellow line does not mean the lanes share one direction, and the line does not have to turn white before passing. Scan for oncoming vehicles and roadway hazards before crossing the centerline, then return to the proper lane when clear.
