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

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

Answer: A. When doing 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 manual says a single broken line lets you pass or change lanes only when you can do it safely and without getting in the way of other traffic. So the line itself does not forbid crossing; it sets a condition. If crossing would interfere with traffic, that condition fails and you may not cross. The color tells you whether the traffic beside you moves the same way (white) or the opposite way (yellow), but the safety condition is the same.

Why the other answers are wrong

Remember it

Think of a broken line as "yes, if clear" — the moment your move would block someone, it turns into "no."
