When the road is marked with a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line on your side, you may pass:

On your right, but not on your left.
Only in an emergency situation.
If you are on a limited access highway.
If traffic is clear.
Explanation

Yellow center lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. When there is a broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line, it means passing is allowed from the side of the broken line, but not from the side of the solid line. Therefore, if you are driving on the side with the broken line and the opposite lane is clear, you may pass safely.
