A single, dashed yellow line separating traffic means:

Both lanes go in the same direction.
You may pass if it is safe to do so.
Passing is not allowed.
All of the above.
Explanation

Lines separating traffic moving in opposite directions are yellow. A single, dashed yellow line separating traffic indicates that it is safe to pass if there is no oncoming traffic. Even if passing is allowed, drivers should still be cautious and make sure that it is safe to pass before doing so. Where there is both a solid and a dashed yellow line between opposing lanes of traffic, you may not pass if the solid yellow line is on your side.
