Question Analysis
This question tests knowledge of pavement markings, specifically a broken yellow line on a two-lane road. According to the Texas Driver Handbook, a broken yellow line separates traffic moving in opposite directions on a two-way road. It indicates that passing is permitted when safe, but it does not mean the road is one-way, under repair, or that you must stay to the left of the line. The key rule is that yellow lines divide opposing traffic, while white lines divide same-direction traffic.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: You are on a two-way road.
A broken yellow line is used to separate lanes of traffic traveling in opposite directions. Therefore, if you turn onto a two-lane road divided by a broken yellow line, you are on a two-way road. This is the standard meaning of a broken yellow center line in Texas and across the U.S.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: You are on a one-way road.
A one-way road would not have a yellow center line separating opposing traffic. One-way roads typically use white lines to separate lanes going the same direction, and may have yellow lines only on the left edge. A broken yellow line indicates two-way traffic.
Option: The road is under repair.
A broken yellow line is a standard pavement marking for a two-way road with passing allowed. It does not indicate road work or repairs. Construction zones are usually marked with orange signs, cones, or temporary markings.
Option: You must stay to the left of the broken yellow lines.
Drivers must keep to the right of the center line, not the left. The broken yellow line separates opposing traffic, and you should drive to the right of it. Staying to the left would put you in the oncoming lane, which is dangerous and illegal.
