Two sets of solid, double yellow lines that are two or more feet apart indicate which of the following?

• A. They indicate a traffic lane for bicycles
• B. They indicate a pedestrian crossing
• C. They may not be crossed for any reason
• D. They indicate a passing zone

Answer: (C)

A pair of solid double yellow lines with space between them marks a wide no-passing barrier between opposing directions of traffic. Because both lines are solid, you are not allowed to cross them for any reason, including to pass another vehicle. You must stay in your lane and treat this as a no-passing zone. The other options wouldn’t fit because bicycle lanes and pedestrian crossings are shown with different markings, and a passing zone would be indicated by dashed lines that allow passing when safe.
