|
The yellow line next to their side of the road is broken.
|
|

The vehicle ahead moves to the left to let them pass.
|
|
|
The yellow line next to the other side of the road is broken.
|
|
|
The vehicle ahead moves to the right to let them pass.

Explanation
Yellow center lines indicate two-way traffic, and a broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line indicates passing is permitted only in one direction. If the broken yellow line is on the driver's side, passing is permitted when the roadway ahead is clear.
