Pavement Markings 1/ 42

multimedia section.

Lines and symbols on the roadway divide lanes and inform you when you can pass or change lanes or which lanes to choose for turns. The arrows in the pictures show the direction of traffic.

A broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line means that passing is allowed from the side of the broken line, but not from the side of the solid line.
Vehicles on the solid yellow line side may only cross the line to pass pedestrians, bicyclists, and riders of scooters or skateboards, when the opposite lane is clear and you can pass safely.
