You may cross a double yellow line to pass if your side is broken.

• A. Your side is a solid line.
• B. Your side is a broken line.
• C. Both sides are dashed lines.
• D. You may never cross.

Answer: (B)

You may pass across a double yellow line only when the line on your side is broken. This broken line means you’re allowed to cross into the oncoming lane to complete a pass, but only if it’s safe to do so. If your side is a solid line, you may not pass at all. If both sides are dashed, passing is allowed when safe, but the key requirement is that your own line must be broken to start the maneuver. Always ensure there’s enough clear distance and visibility, and avoid passes near curves, hills, intersections, or other hazards.
