Double solid yellow lines indicate that vehicles traveling in either direction may not pass or cross the lines. These solid yellow centerlines show where passing is strictly prohibited. However, you may cross them if directed to do so by law enforcement or flaggers - such as in construction zones or emergencies-when your lane is blocked or closed.
