What does a double solid yellow center line mean on a New York two-way road?
- Passing is prohibited in both directions
- Passing is allowed when traffic is light
- Only trucks may cross to pass
- Passing is permitted from the side with the wider shoulder
Answer: Passing is prohibited in both directions. A double solid yellow line separates opposing traffic where passing is prohibited in both directions. Light traffic, vehicle type, or shoulder width does not create an exception to the marking. A driver should remain in the proper lane and wait for a permitted passing zone rather than crossing the center lines. The visual cue is two continuous yellow lines, not a broken line paired with a solid line. Treat the center as a no-passing boundary until the pavement marking changes.
