Two solid yellow lines on the pavement mean:
- Passing is allowed for drivers from both directions.
- Passing is not allowed. ✓
- Passing is allowed if you are at the top a hill.
- Passing is allowed during daylight only.
Answer: B. Passing is not allowed.
Two solid yellow lines mean passing is not allowed.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says vehicles moving in either direction must not pass or cross double solid yellow lines. It lists only a narrow exception: you may turn left or pass a bicyclist when it is safe to do so. The answer choice saying passing is not allowed matches that rule.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Passing is allowed for drivers from both directions. — Passing is not allowed for traffic in either direction, so it is wrong to say drivers from both directions may pass.
- C. Passing is allowed if you are at the top a hill. — Being at the top of a hill does not create permission to cross double solid yellow lines; the passage gives no such exception.
- D. Passing is allowed during daylight only. — Daylight does not change the rule; the passage says vehicles in either direction must not pass or cross these lines, with only limited exceptions.
Remember it
Picture two solid yellow lines as a wall: stay on your side unless you are turning left or passing a bicyclist.
