A broken yellow line beside a solid yellow line indicates that passing is:
- Permitted from the side next to the solid yellow line.
- Not permitted from either direction.
- Permitted from the side next to the broken yellow line. ✓
Answer: C. Permitted from the side next to the broken yellow line.
Passing is permitted from the side next to the broken yellow line.
Why this is the answer
The manual describes a solid line paired with a broken line: on the solid side, you cannot pass or cross the line except to make a left turn into a driveway. On the broken side, you may pass when it is safe and when you will not interfere with traffic. That makes the broken-line side the one where passing is allowed, which matches the choice about the side next to the broken yellow line.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Permitted from the side next to the solid yellow line. — The side next to the solid line is where the manual says you cannot pass or cross the line except for a left turn into a driveway.
- B. Not permitted from either direction. — Passing is not barred from both directions; the manual allows it from the broken-line side when it is safe.
Remember it
Match the line to your side: broken beside you means passing may be allowed; solid beside you means no passing.
