Explanation
A broken yellow line separates traffic moving in opposite directions and indicates that passing is allowed when it is safe. When this line is present, drivers may cross into the oncoming lane to overtake a slower vehicle.
A broken white line separates lanes moving in the same direction and allows lane changes within the same flow of traffic. It does not indicate passing opposing traffic.
A solid yellow line marks a no-passing zone, while a solid white line discourages lane changes.
