Explanation
A yellow centerline typically indicates that the lane on the opposite side is for oncoming traffic. When you see a broken yellow line next to your lane and a solid yellow line next to the other lane, it indicates a two-way traffic system with restrictions for passing in one direction. The broken line allows passing in your lane (when safe), while the solid yellow line prohibits it for vehicles in the opposite lane.
