What does a solid yellow line alongside a broken yellow line mean?

  1. No passing allowed on either side.

  2. Passing is allowed on the side with the broken line.

  3. Passing is allowed on the side with the solid line.

  4. Passing is allowed in both directions.

The correct answer is: Passing is allowed on the side with the broken line.

A solid yellow line alongside a broken yellow line indicates that passing is only allowed on the side with the broken line. This is to inform drivers that passing is allowed in one direction but not in the opposite direction. Option A is incorrect because it falsely states that no passing is allowed on either side. Option C is incorrect because passing is not allowed on the side with the solid line. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that passing is allowed in both directions, which is contradictory to the fact that one line is solid and the other is broken.
