A broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line means:

Passing is permitted on the side of the broken yellow line.
Passing is permitted on the side of the solid yellow line.
Passing on the right is permitted in either direction.
Passing is not permitted in either direction.
Explanation

If a centerline has two lines - one solid and one broken - it indicates that passing is permitted in one lane and not in the other. If you have the broken line next to you, you may pass the vehicle in front of you when the road is clear. On the other hand, if the solid line is closest to you, you may not cross the lines under any circumstances. If the lines are yellow, it means that the two lanes have traffic flowing in opposite directions.
