A solid yellow line on your side of the centerline means:
- Reduce your speed.
- Traffic light ahead.
- Do not pass. ✓
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 handbook explains that yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. When your side of a solid-and-broken pair is the solid line, you cannot pass or cross it except to turn left into a driveway. Chapter 6 also says you cannot pass on the left when your lane has a solid yellow center line. So the line tells you passing is not allowed from your side; it is not a speed instruction or a traffic-light warning.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Reduce your speed. — The handbook does not say a solid yellow line means reduce speed; it addresses passing and crossing rules.
- B. Traffic light ahead. — The handbook does not connect a solid yellow line with a traffic light ahead; it is a pavement marking about passing.
Remember it
Solid yellow beside you means passing is not yours to do.
