A dashed yellow line on a two-way roadway indicates that a vehicle may pass if it is safe.

• A. a vehicle may not pass.
• B. a vehicle is allowed to park.
• C. a vehicle may pass if it is safe.
• D. a vehicle may make a U-turn.

Answer: (C)

A dashed yellow centerline means you may pass another vehicle if it is safe to do so. This marking shows that visibility and traffic conditions allow a passing maneuver, so you can move left to go around a slower vehicle as long as you have a clear view of oncoming traffic and enough space to complete the pass without cutting back in front of the other driver. Remember to finish the pass before you reach the dashed line ends or any solid line and to avoid passing near curves, hills, intersections, or railroad crossings where you can’t see far enough ahead. The marking itself doesn’t authorize parking or U-turns. The key idea is that passing is allowed only when it can be done safely.
