Sample question from test 5
signs
This pennant-shaped NO PASSING ZONE sign marks the start of a no-passing stretch. Which pavement marking carries the same prohibition in Massachusetts?
- A broken yellow line
- Two solid yellow lines
- Broken white lines
- A single solid white edge line
Answer: Two solid yellow lines. The pennant on the left side of the road and the double solid yellow line on the pavement say the same thing: do not cross to pass. A broken yellow line allows a temporary pass when it is safe, broken white lines separate same direction lanes, and the solid white edge line marks the side of the road. No passing zones are placed where hills, curves or intersections cut sight distance, so the prohibition holds even when the road looks empty.
