🆕 New Concept Discovered: Road Markings and Rules
Understanding what center lines mean on the road.

Step 1: Analyze the road marking

The question describes a specific road marking: a solid yellow line on your side of the center line.

In traffic rules, road markings use colors and patterns to communicate driving permissions:

• Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions.
• Solid lines mean "do not cross" or indicate restrictions.
• Broken (dashed) lines mean crossing or passing is permitted when safe.

Step 2: Determine the rule for a solid line on your side

When there is a double center line or a combination line, the rule that applies to you is determined by the line closest to your lane (your side of the road):

• If the line on your side is solid, you are prohibited from crossing it to pass other vehicles.
• If the line on your side is broken, you are allowed to cross it to pass when it is safe to do so.

Since the solid yellow line is on your side of the center line, you are not allowed to pass.

Answer:

B: No passing is allowed from your side
