You may not cross a single broken white (or yellow) line:

  1. When to do so would interfere with traffic ✓
  2. When turning left into a driveway
  3. When the car in front is disabled
  4. When passing to the right on a one-way street

Answer: A. When to do so would interfere with traffic

You may not cross a single broken white or yellow line when doing so would interfere with traffic.

Why this is the answer

The handbook says a single broken line means you can pass other vehicles or change lanes only if you can do it safely and without interfering with traffic. So the line itself does not forbid crossing it. The limit is whether crossing would get in the way of other traffic. That makes interfering with traffic the condition under which you may not cross.

Why the other answers are wrong

Remember it

Treat a broken line as permission that still depends on safety: other traffic comes first.
