What does a dashed yellow line between lanes indicate?

• A. You may not pass from either direction.
• B. You may pass if it is safe; you may cross the line to pass with caution.
• C. You must always stay in your lane and never cross the line.
• D. You should yield to vehicles in the adjacent lane.

Answer: (B)

Passing is allowed when a dashed yellow line separates opposing lanes. It means you may cross the line to pass another vehicle if it’s safe to do so. You should check for a clear view of oncoming traffic, make sure there’s enough space to complete the pass before returning to your lane, and avoid passing in areas where it’s unsafe or prohibited by other signs or markings. If visibility is poor or you’re approaching curves, hills, intersections, or a solid line on your side, don’t pass. The dashed line indicates pass-when-safe, not a free pass under any condition.
