What does a solid double yellow line in the center of the road indicate?

• A. Passing is allowed for traffic on either side.
• B. Passing is allowed for traffic on your side only.
• C. Passing is allowed when there is a dashed line.
• D. Passing is not allowed for traffic on either side.

Answer: (D)

A solid double yellow line means no passing for traffic in either direction. This marking is used on two-lane roads where visibility or conditions make it unsafe to pass, so you must stay in your lane and not cross the lines to get around another vehicle. You’ll only be able to pass again when you encounter a dashed line ahead, which indicates a safe passing zone.
