What does a dashed yellow line show on a two way, two lane road?
- A lane reserved for parking
- A barrier that cannot be crossed under any condition
- The center of the road, where you may pass if safe
- Traffic lanes moving in the same direction
Answer: The center of the road, where you may pass if safe. A dashed yellow line marks the center of a two way, two lane road. If conditions allow, a driver may use the oncoming lane to pass another vehicle, returning only after the maneuver is safe. The solid barrier choice confuses dashed and solid markings, and yellow does not identify same direction lanes. Check sight distance, oncoming traffic, signs, and road conditions before crossing. The line permits a possibility, not an automatic invitation, so the passing decision still depends on safety.
