A solid yellow line to the right of a broken yellow center line means:

|
|
You are on a shared lane.
|
|
|
Passing or crossing is prohibited in that lane, except when turning left.
|
|
|
Vehicles may cross these lines when changing lanes.

Explanation
When the solid yellow line is on your side of the center line, you aren't allowed to change lanes or pass other vehicles. These lines may not be crossed, except if you wish to make a left turn. Remember that yellow lines separate lanes with traffic moving in opposite directions, so always watch out for oncoming vehicles. Drivers traveling in the lane closest to the broken line may pass other vehicles when it is safe.
