A solid yellow line in your lane generally indicates what?

• A. No passing is allowed in your lane.
• B. Passing is allowed in your lane.
• C. You must stop.
• D. You may turn left only at intersections.

Answer: (A)

A solid yellow line in your lane means you may not pass another vehicle. This marks a no-passing zone, usually placed where visibility is limited or the road ahead has curves, hills, or intersections that make overtaking dangerous. You should stay in your lane and refrain from crossing the line to pass until you see a dashed line on your side or otherwise indicated it’s safe to pass. The other options don’t fit because stopping is guided by stop signs or solid white lines at intersections, and turning left rules depend on signs, lanes, or intersections rather than the presence of a solid yellow line in your lane.
