A solid yellow pavement line indicates:

• A. No passing zone
• B. No turning on red
• C. Passing is allowed when safe
• D. Two-way traffic ahead

Answer: (A)

A solid yellow line means you’re in a no-passing zone. It’s painted where visibility or road conditions ahead make passing dangerous, so you should stay in your lane and not cross the line to pass another vehicle. If the line on your side is solid, you must not pass; if the line on your side is dashed, passing is allowed when it’s safe. Double solid lines mean no passing in either direction. The other options aren’t indicated by this marking—turning on red is controlled by signals, and signs or road context indicate two-way traffic, not the single solid yellow line itself.
