A solid and broken line painted on the center of a two-lane highway means passing is

• A. Passing is allowed when the solid line is on your side
• B. Passing is not allowed when the solid line is on your side
• C. Passing is allowed on both sides
• D. Passing is allowed only at night

Answer: (B)

Center-line markings tell you when passing is allowed. If the line on your side is solid, you must not pass—stay in your lane until the line becomes broken on your side. The broken line on the opposite side does not give you permission to cross. You may pass only when your side of the line is broken and it is safe to do so. Time of day or the other side’s line does not change this rule, so options suggesting you can pass when the line on your side is solid or only at night aren’t correct.
