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

Step 1: Analyze the road marking

The question describes a scenario where you see a solid yellow line on your side of the center line.

In traffic rules, center line markings indicate whether passing (overtaking) is permitted:

• Broken (dashed) lines mean passing is permitted when safe.
• Solid lines mean passing is prohibited.

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

When there is a solid yellow line on your side of the road (even if the line on the other side is broken), it means drivers on your side are not allowed to cross the line to pass other vehicles.

• Solid yellow line on your side: No passing allowed from your side.
• Broken yellow line on your side: Passing is allowed when it is safe to do so.

Therefore, a solid yellow line on your side means no passing is allowed from your side.

Answer:

B: No passing is allowed from your side
