A broken yellow line between two lanes of traffic means:

Passing on the right is permitted in either direction.
Traffic in both directions must stop.
Passing is not permitted.
Passing is permitted when safe.
Explanation

If you are traveling next to a yellow broken centerline, it means that passing is permitted when safe, and that the two lanes have traffic moving in opposite directions. Even though passing is allowed, you must always use your turn signals and check that the lane on your left is clear of traffic.
