You may pass when it is safe to do so.
The lane next to you is traveling in the same direction.
Passing is not allowed.
You are not allowed to pass until you see a single dashed white line.
Explanation

A single dashed yellow line in the middle of the road indicates that you may pass another vehicle, as long as the lane next to you is clear of traffic. You should only pass one vehicle at a time. Yellow lines always separate lanes traveling in opposite directions, so be cautious of oncoming traffic.
