A solid yellow line on your side of the centerline means:
- Slow down.
- Pass with caution.
- Do not pass. ✓
- Keep right on hills.
Answer: C. Do not pass.
A solid yellow line on your side of the centerline means do not pass.
Why this is the answer
The Florida handbook describes double yellow lines with the solid line on your side as a no-passing lane. It says passing is not allowed in that lane. A broken yellow line is different: it allows passing when safe. Since the solid line is on your side, you should stay behind the vehicle ahead instead of pulling out to pass. The handbook does permit a left turn or passing a bicyclist when conditions are safe.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Slow down. — Slowing down is not what the solid line on your side indicates; the handbook treats it as a passing restriction.
- B. Pass with caution. — Passing with caution describes the broken-line situation, not a solid line on your side, where passing is not allowed.
- D. Keep right on hills. — Keeping right on hills is not given in these passages as the meaning of this pavement marking.
Remember it
Solid on your side? Hold your lane and hold back from passing.
