Question Analysis
This question tests knowledge of pavement markings and passing rules from the Texas Driver Handbook. The handbook states that you may pass another vehicle when the line dividing your lane from the lane you want to enter is a broken white line. Lane markings indicate whether passing is permitted: broken lines mean passing is allowed when safe, while solid lines generally prohibit crossing. Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions, and white lines separate traffic moving in the same direction.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: Broken white
A broken white line separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and indicates that you may cross the line to pass another vehicle when it is safe to do so. The Texas Driver Handbook specifically allows passing when the line dividing your lane from the lane you wish to enter is a broken white line.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Double solid yellow
Double solid yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions and indicate that passing is prohibited for traffic in both directions. You may not cross these lines to pass.
Option: Solid yellow
A solid yellow line separates traffic moving in opposite directions and indicates that passing is not allowed for traffic in your direction. You may not cross a solid yellow line to pass.
Option: Solid white
A solid white line separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and indicates that you should not cross the line to pass. It is used to discourage lane changes in areas where crossing may be unsafe.
