What does a solid yellow line on your side of the road indicate?

  1. You may pass if safe

  2. No passing is allowed

  3. Passing is encouraged

  4. Yield to oncoming traffic

The correct answer is: No passing is allowed

A solid yellow line on your side of the road indicates that no passing is allowed. This marking serves as a warning to drivers that it is not safe to overtake another vehicle in that area, typically due to reduced visibility or the potential presence of oncoming traffic. The intent behind this regulation is to enhance road safety and prevent accidents that could occur if a driver were to attempt to pass when the conditions do not permit it. Drivers are expected to remain in their lane and should only pass when they see a broken yellow line, which signifies that passing is permitted under certain conditions.
